In his message marking the International Day of Epidemic Preparedness, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized on Wednesday the imperative for global preparedness against future pandemics, drawing on the lessons from the COVID-19 crisis.
"When the next pandemic arrives, we must do better. But we're not yet ready. We must prepare and act on the lessons of COVID-19," urged the top UN official.
"We must renounce the moral and medical disaster of rich countries hoarding and controlling pandemic healthcare supplies, and ensure everyone has access to diagnostics, treatments and vaccines," he stressed, adding that the authority of the World Health Organization (WHO) and financing must also be strengthened.
