SINGAPORE - Singapore and Switzerland are jointly chairing a global initiative to support equitable access to a Covid-19 vaccine, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat said on Thursday .
Thanking his Saudi counterparts for their leadership on global efforts to fight the pandemic, Mr Heng, who is also Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies, said:"Health and finance have always been closely intertwined, and in a pandemic, this is even more so." The Covax financing scheme will enable fast and equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines for the 76 countries involved, along with 92 other poorer countries that are supported under the scheme.
The G-20 finance and health ministers said in a statement last night that equitable and affordable access to vaccines for all is key to overcoming the pandemic and supporting the global economic recovery.
