It is vital that African countries continue to drive global health architecture reform to shape and own the outcomes, especially through the WHO-hosted joint process converging health initiatives together.
@WHO and partners are now designing this process, with humility and guided by the principles of country priorities, national sovereignty, regional cooperation, equity, solidarity and accountability.
We look forward to presenting this, along with the Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing system (PABS) annex to the WHO Pandemic Agreement, for Member States’ consideration at the World Health Assembly next month.
I thank @AfricaCDC and its Director General, my brother, @Dr_JeanKaseya for convening the African High-Level Ministerial Committee on the Reform of the Global Health Architecture.
