Barbados has voiced its support for a new global accord that aims to better protect people, communities and countries against future pandemics.
This message was conveyed by Minister of Health, Dr. the Most Honourable Jerome Walcott during a high-level meeting at the ongoing UN General Assembly.
According to the process agreed by governments at a special session of the World Health Assembly in late 2021, negotiations on the Draft Pandemic Accord will aim to produce a final draft for consideration in 2024.
Dr. Walcott says in order for local and regional capacity to be strengthened, production of vaccines will be needed to ensure there’s a supply chain in emergencies.
