“We need to have a sense of urgency on how we approach this issue of response to COVID-19 because the world is watching.
“Vaccine policy is economic policy because the global economic recovery cannot be sustained unless we find a way to get equitable access to vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics,” she added. During the meeting, a status report indicating the common goal of WTO members to provide access to affordable vaccines and medicines for all, was submitted and approved.
