Before lecturing on the Pandemic Treaty next week, I've been having a deep dive into Intellectual Property, COVID-19 and the Next Pandemic

Diagnosing Problems, Developing Cures

Edited by Haochen Sun, The University of Hong Kong, Madhavi Sunder, Georgetown University, Washington DC
https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/intellectual-property-covid19-and-the-next-pandemic/C9DE9042D016A4BF9C1D4F09C2F70091 The editors have done a masterful job at capturing the mega-debate over access to essential medicines during the COVID-19 public health crisis. The work also really highlights a lack of preparation for the next pandemic. The same old problems could easily recur again in the future. The collection is also open access - which will make it a great resource for those working in the field.

“We are gravely concerned that the opportunity presented by the High-Level Meeting and the expected Political Declaration on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response is being squandered,” wrote Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Helen Clark in an open letter released on Sunday. https://healthpolicy-watch.news/warning-that-un-high-level-meeting-on-pandemics-may-be-squandered-opportunity/

“The current draft of the political declaration… does not express the commitments required of heads of state and government to transform the international system of pandemic preparedness and response. Instead, it reads as a health resolution”. #pandemictreaty #covid19 #thenextpandemic #access2meds #globalhealth
