FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pandemic Accord needs a “transformative agenda”, civil society groups tell WHO
The following statement was delivered today by Piotr Kolczy?ski, EU Health Policy & Advocacy Advisor to Oxfam and the People’s Vaccine Alliance, to a meeting of the WHO’s Intergovernmental Negotiating Body on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.
Oxfam and the People’s Vaccine Alliance statement for the INB4 meeting
27 February – 3 March 2023
We have also submitted further detailed comments to the secretariat
Oxfam and the People’s Vaccine Alliance consider the INB process as an opportunity for WHO members to negotiate and agree on a pathway to keeping the world safe from pandemics. This, however, will not be accomplished through a business-as-usual model. It can only be delivered through a transformative agenda.
Medical technologies related to pathogens with pandemic potential must be treated as global common goods – be available to all who need them at the same time. Therefore, sharing technology and knowledge and investing in R&D and manufacturing capacity in LMICs is a global responsibility.
Global common goods must take precedence over private commercial interests. The Pandemic Accord should therefore include a commitment by member states to waive intellectual property rules on medical technologies relevant to such pathogens.
Investing in one country’s public health system not only protects its citizens from outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics but also helps protect citizens of other countries. There is no security – neither national nor global – without effective public health systems around the world.
Financing pandemic preparedness and response is the backbone of the successful development and production of medical technologies and of sustaining health systems. We urge the negotiators to consider innovative financing for these functions, especially a globally implemented financial transaction tax.
We wish you all the best in your deliberations.

3378204254568580014859000Comando Provinciale Carabinieri di PerugiaCOMUNICATO STAMPAFONTIVEGGEUBRIACO AGGREDISCE I CARABINIERI. IN MANETTE 20ENNE.I Carabinieri della Sezione Radiomobile della Compagnia di Perugia, unitamente a quelli della Stazione di Ponte Pattoli, a seguito di chiamata alla Centrale Operativa, sono intervenuti in un locale nei pressi della Stazione di Fontivegge ove era stata segnalata una lite tra il proprietario e un cliente. Giunti sul posto gli equipaggi trovavano ancora intenti a discutere animatamente il gestore del locale ed un giovane colombiano 20enne: il primo, a causa del forte stato di agitazione, avvertiva un lieve malore e necessitava di cure mediche sul posto mentre il secondo, in evidente stato di alterazione alcolica, si mostrava fin da subito poco collaborativo nei confronti degli operanti, adottando una condotta via via sempre più aggressiva. Nonostante i ripetuti inviti a calmarsi e fornire le proprie generalità, il giovane inveiva contro i militari, tentando di aggredirli e ingaggiando una breve colluttazione, nella quale riportava lievi lesioni uno degli militari. L’uomo è stato così dichiarato in arresto per resistenza a pubblico ufficiale e trattenuto nelle camere di sicurezza della Compagnia di Perugia. L’Autorità Giudiziaria, in mattinata, ha convalidato l’arresto e disposto l’obbligo di firma.
