“Global Health”: Vaccines for the (Covid-19) virus give the world a chance to control the pandemic

The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom, confirmed that the (Covid-19) virus vaccines give the world an opportunity to control the pandemic, warning at the same time that they will not be wasted.

At the conclusion of the 148th session of the Executive Council for Global Health, which was held in Geneva today, the Director-General of the Organization said that while rich countries provide vaccines to their people, the least developed countries are waiting for the arrival of vaccines, indicating that the failure to reach vaccines equitably for all will cause the global economy losses of up to 9 $ 2 trillion, half of which will be incurred by rich countries.

Adhanom called for closing the $ 26 billion gap in accelerated financing for medicinal products to combat Covid 19 for the current year.
