After over three years of negotiations, World Health Organization members have agreed to a legally binding pact to prepare for future pandemics.

The agreement aims to strengthen global defences against new diseases following the devastating impact of COVID-19. It includes measures to prevent pandemics, such as creating a pathogen access and benefit-sharing system and expanding research capacities worldwide.

The plan also outlines the development of a global supply chain and logistics network while focusing on improving health system resilience and preparedness.

WHO described the agreement as a major step forward in pandemic preparedness, even as global health organisations face financial challenges.

The agreement will be reviewed at the World Health Assembly in May. Nina Schwalbe, founder of Spark Street Advisors, emphasised that countries are committed to multilateral collaboration, regardless of U.S. participation.
