Margaret Chan
The Summit has been a catalyst for partnerships, and the setting of several global health announcements. In 2007, during a speech at the Summit, Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization, publicized “a new initiative to establish a world stockpile of vaccines to prepare for the threat of pandemic influenza.” At the Summit in 2009, Sanofi bolstered that stockpile with 100 million donated doses of flu vaccine.
