After the United Kingdom and Argentina presented a “landmark” decision to the World Health Assembly in Geneva recently, the world took a huge step toward greater pandemic preparedness.

More specific financing will be advocated for within the resolution, allowing developing nations to conduct their own domestic clinical studies, allowing them to test new medications, vaccines, and other health treatments. The pact will also help developing countries respond more quickly to health catastrophes while also better equipping them to combat existing health issues such as tuberculosis, mental health issues, and diabetes. 

People saw through COVID-19 how vital it is for countries to communicate information rapidly, and this resolution is another significant moment in the world’s march to pandemic preparation, said Sajid Javid, who happens to be UK’s Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. Clinical trials are critical for evaluating and developing lifesaving treatments and vaccinations, and this resolution, spearheaded by the United Kingdom and Argentina, will make it easier for developing nations to conduct their own trials, safeguarding them and others from a future pandemic.

The resolution also emphasises more transparency among countries, urging them to share their findings, which can speed up research and eliminate waste.

The resolution additionally seeks to strengthen clinical trials for other intervention strategies, so medication and vaccine research aren’t the exclusive emphasis. Novel diagnostics, surgical procedures, and behavioural treatments are all being discussed, which corresponds with the goal of generating new diagnostics, medicines, and vaccinations within 100 days of the discovery of a new pandemic danger. Following the ratification of the Pandemic Preparedness Pact, this is the latest in a line of UK-led initiatives that will strengthen the world’s ability to handle the next pandemic.
