We are grateful that Dr. Jaouad Mahjour, Head of the WHO Secretariat to INB and IHR Amendments, has agreed to give an “Update on WHO international pandemic accord”. We will then have the possibility to discuss the accord and its implications especially from a public health ethical perspective.

In December 2021, the World Health Assembly decided to establish an intergovernmental negotiating body (INB) to draft a WHO an agreement on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response. In light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO member states wanted to make sure that communities, governments and all sectors of society are better prepared and protected in order to prevent and respond to future pandemics. It is one of the central goals of the accord to ensure equity in accessing both tools to prevent pandemics and health care for all people. The INB has been asked to submit the final outcome of its work to the World Health Assembly in May 2024.
