Historic! The World Health Assembly adopts the Pandemic Agreement (124–0–11) to ensure a fairer, safer world.

Only the 2nd treaty under WHO’s Article 19 — the first was the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (2003).

@who.int plenary adopts the #PandemicAccord!
We now have a new tool in the global health toolbox, and hopefully we will manage to make the best of it!
There is a lot of work between now and full implementation, not the least negotiating the #PABS instrument!
