GENEVA, May 20 (Xinhua) — Member countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) voted here in favor of a resolution calling for a global agreement to improve pandemic preparedness.
The WHO pandemic treaty and a resolution calling for its adoption are expected to be adopted on Tuesday at a plenary session of the World Health Assembly, the WHO’s top governing body.
The agreement to combat pandemics, the first of its kind, addresses gaps and inequalities in pandemic prevention, preparedness and response to promote greater collaboration and cooperation, WHO said in a press release.
