World Health Organization members vote in favour of global pandemic agreement
- On May 20, 2025, World Health Organization member states adopted the first-ever Pandemic Agreement at the WHO's Geneva headquarters to better prevent future pandemics.
- Negotiations for the agreement lasted more than three years, sparked by the disjointed global response to the COVID-19 pandemic and involving tense debates among countries.
- The 33-page treaty calls for strengthened international coordination, surveillance, equitable vaccine access, and does not undermine state sovereignty amid geopolitical tensions.
- Member states unanimously approved the agreement with a 124-0 vote, prompting WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to describe the moment as historic and a significant achievement for global health, scientific progress, and international cooperation.
- The agreement aims to better protect societies and economies from future health crises, though the United States is withdrawing from the WHO and urged others to use this as a wake-up call.
