WHO adopts new pandemic agreement to boost global preparedness, though US absence raises concerns.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has adopted a new pandemic agreement to improve global preparedness for future pandemics.
The treaty, approved by 124 member countries, ensures that countries sharing virus samples will receive tests, medicines, and vaccines, with up to 20% allocated to the WHO for distribution to poorer countries.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus described the agreement as "historic."
However, the deal faces challenges due to the absence of the United States and the lack of penalties for non-compliance.
The pact will not take effect until an annex on pathogen sharing is finalized.
