The head of the World Health Organization, WHO, has urged countries to adopt this week the Pandemic Agreement aimed at preventing a repeat of the Covid-19 crisis.
WHO member states are holding their annual World Health Assembly, a gathering of the UN health agency’s decision-making body.
In his opening address to the gathering in Geneva, WHO Chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said member states will consider, and hopefully adopt, the WHO Pandemic Agreement.
