In his New Year’s speech, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stresses that the pandemic will only end with cooperation. In addition, he warns against hoarding vaccines, among other things.
World The director of the WHO says he is confident that the coronary pandemic can be stopped this year. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus open their views in his New Year’s speech, where he stresses that the pandemic will only end with cooperation.
“As we enter the third year of this pandemic, I am confident that this is the year we will stop it – but only if we do it together,” Tedros writes.
Tedros warns of narrow-minded nationalism and the hoarding of vaccines that some countries in the world have succumbed to. Such practices, he said, have created not only injustice but also ideal conditions for the emergence of self-transformation.
“And the longer the injustice continues, the higher the risks of the virus transforming in ways we can’t prevent or predict,” he writes.
“If we decide injustice,” we will end the pandemic.
However, the leader stresses that the world currently has more anti-corona tools. There are new treatments for the virus that are believed to facilitate access to treatment and reduce mortality. In addition, more than 8.5 billion doses of vaccine have been administered worldwide, saving millions of lives.
Tedros also lists three promises for the year ahead.
Firstly, he stresses the need to end the pandemic. To achieve this, all countries should work together to achieve 70% global vaccine coverage by the middle of the year.
According to Tedros, everyone in the world should also do their part, including wearing masks and avoiding crowds.
In addition, the world must continue to pursue tailor-made health interventions. Countries should continue testing and all countries should be able to report conversions without fear of retaliation.
The highly contagious omicron transformation currently rampant in the world was originally observed in South Africa. Following the reporting of the transformation, several countries around the world imposed travel bans on southern African countries that were perceived as unfair and punitive by destination countries.
Secondly According to Tedros, countries should negotiate a global pandemic agreement. The agreement could strengthen the governance, funding, and systems and tools the world needs to prevent, identify, and respond to epidemics and pandemics.
Third, the leader underlines how all countries should invest in strong primary health care.
“Covid-19 has shown that when health is under threat, everything is under threat,” Tedros sums up.
The leader concludes his speech by wishing everyone a very happy, safe and healthy start to the year.
