After the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries rallied around the idea of a pandemic treaty to enshrine global solidarity against pandemic threats and establish priorities for coordination, cooperation, and equity during a health emergency. After more than two years of complex negotiations, WHO Member States advanced a historic pandemic agreement on Wednesday April 16, 2025. As we move from negotiations to adoption and implementation — and we reach one year since approving amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHRs) — what have we learned about multilateralism for preventing, preparing for, and responding to pandemic threats? What’s needed to propel global coordination and alignment for proactive, equitable prevention, preparedness, and response?
Join Pandemic Action Network (PAN) and FOUR PAWS on the sidelines of WHA78 for The Pandemic Agreement and Beyond: International Solidarity in a Multipolar Era, to bring together leading stakeholders in the pandemic agreement and IHR processes for candid reflections and an action-oriented discussion on what comes next for multilateralism and pandemic threats, and how we continue to propel global action to keep the world healthy and safe.
Speakers include:
- Fleur Davies, Vice Chair of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body; Assistant Secretary, Multilateral Health Branch, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Australia
- Precious Matsoso, Co-Chair of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body; Director of the Health Regulatory Science Platform, University of the Witwatersrand
- Nina Jamal, International Head of Pandemics & Campaign Strategies, FOUR PAWS International
- Peter Maybarduk, Director, Access to Medicines Program, Public Citizen
- Rosemary Mburu, Executive Director, WACI Health
