In light of the recent G20 Finance and Health Ministerial meeting, which underlined the urgency of addressing global health inequalities and preparing for future pandemics, Club de Madrid believes it is appropriate to highlight that it has issued a powerful letter of support to the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) and the World Health Organisation (WHO).The letter, signed by our President Danilo Türk, emphasizes the pressing need for political resolve to secure a meaningful Pandemic Agreement, highlighting the risks posed by delayed or insufficient action.
The G20 meeting’s final document recognized the critical need for equity, particularly in accessing medical resources, and called for a unified commitment to address these inequalities. Club de Madrid, representing democratic former Presidents and Prime Ministers, urges all stakeholders to prioritize inclusivity and decisive financing mechanisms to ensure global health security. The letter stresses that while some compromises may be necessary, the stakes demand steadfast progress toward a comprehensive and equitable pandemic framework.
