WHO proposes improving global access to new vaccines
['Please Enter Your Name Here']
Date: None

The World Health Organization advocated taking seriously the suspension of patents on the vaccines that are being developed today in the world against Covid-19 in order to achieve equity in their distribution.

The director general of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, pointed out that, if the whole planet wants practical solutions to stop the disease, it is necessary to think about the exemption of intellectual property. With this step, in his opinion, costs would be reduced, there would be a free flow of medicines, knowledge transfer and technology around the world.

The idea, publicly endorsed by 90 countries, is aimed at developing and middle-income nations, but it does not yet have the support of the European Union and remains under study by the World Trade Organization. The initiative is opposed by many of the states where Big Pharma is based, such as the United States, Australia, Norway, Switzerland, Brazil, Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom.
