UN General Assembly

We welcome the unprecedented result of the seventh replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, held under the leadership of President Biden. The resources mobilized will be vital to defeating those three epidemics by 2030, and they also strengthen resilience and health systems’ capacities by giving them better ways of tracking and preparing for future threats. We have been followed with interest the discussions on an international treaty on pandemics, which would be a significant step towards finding a more appropriate global response and giving the world the tools for improved preparation. The fact is that the best way to perpetuate a pandemic is by refusing to learn from the failures and the efforts made to fight pandemics in the past.
