WHO Director-General Tedros About the Final Stages of the Pandemic Treaty

"There is progress. Member states have in principle agreed to a package of amendments to strengthen the International Health Regulations. This amendment set out to improve how countries prepare for, detect and respond to public health emergencies of international concern and will be part of a package put forward at the assembly. This process has been running in parallel to negotiations around a complementary International agreement on Pandemic Prevention Preparedness and Response. The International Health Regulations focus on raising country's capacities to detect and respond to public health events that are an international risk."
