Pandemic Negotiations: Closing the Deal

Graduate Institute - Global Health Centre "This public event serves as a moment to pause and reflect over more than two years of negotiations within the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body to draft and negotiate a WHO convention, agreement or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response and the Working Group on Amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005). The event's primary objectives are to assess the progress made, shape political momentum as we approach the culminating stages of these crucial negotiations, and furthering trust among stakeholders leading up to the May 2024 World Health Assembly."
"S.A.R.A.H. gives us a glimpse of how artificial intelligence could be used in future to improve access to health information in a more interactive way. I call on the research community to help us continue to explore how this technology could narrow inequities and help people access up-to-date, reliable health information.”
