Pandemic Treaty, Vaccine Equity Seen Topping UN Health Meeting Agenda 

Pandemic Treaty, Vaccine Equity Seen Topping UN Health Meeting Agenda 

Voice of America
Sunday, May 23, 2021 2:52 PM GMT

GENEVA - Ending the COVID-19 pandemic and preventing future pandemics is expected to dominate discussions during this week’s 74th World Health Assembly, the decision-making body of the World Health Organization.  The session will also address other pressing global health issues.

The 2021 World Health Assembly will be held virtually, from tomorrow (May 24) through June 1. This in and of itself is aimed at sending a strong message that it still is not safe for large groups of people to gather physically. More than 2,750 people so far have registered to attend the virtual event.  WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and a global International public health emergency on March 11, 2020. Since then, COVID-19 cases have increased fortyfold to 162 million, including more than 3.3 million deaths.  Discussions on a so-called pandemic treaty to better prepare for and prevent global infectious outbreaks is expected to take center stage at the global assembly. WHO chief legal officer Steven Solomon says drafting a treaty would be a long process. He says delegates have not decided whether negotiations on a treaty should be started.

Archaeologists use song to herald findings in Guinea-Bissau dig

Bubacar Sane, a son of Tombon Sana who is the guardian of the Kansala site, rests at the site of the now-gone city of Kansala, capital of the Kingdom of Kaabu, in Guinea-Bissau, Sept. 24, 2024. Nino Galissa, a seventh-generation griot — or oral historian — composed the musical version of the Kansala 2024 excavation report. Here, he plays a traditional instrument known as a kora at his home in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, Nov. 28, 2024. Ibou Sane, a son of the guardian of the Kansala site, shows a site where warriors would most likely have come to bless their swords before going into battle, in Guinea-Bissau, Sept. 24, 2024. Residents of nearby Durabali, Guinea-Bissau, walk past the entrance sign to the site of the now-gone city of Kansala, the capital of the Kingdom of Kaabu, on Sept. 24, 2024.
