The United Nations calls for action. Gathered during a videoconference, the leaders of many countries such as France or Germany, as well as private actors decided to launch a joint action to fight against coronavirus. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Director-General of WHO said: “This is a historic collaboration to ensure the development, production and equitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines, treatments and tests.”
No details have been provided on the future cooperation mechanism, but the first lines of funding at European level have appeared. Ursula Von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission brings elements: “On May 4, we will launch a global initiative. The goal is to raise 7.5 billion euros to accelerate prevention, diagnosis and treatment work.”
