The World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday condemned “shocking inequalities in access to vaccines” against Covit-19 at the start of a virtual annual meeting of health ministers from the African continent.

“Globally, 140 countries have been vaccinated with at least ten percent of their population, but only four countries on our continent have been able to achieve this goal, due to the staggering imbalances in access to vaccines,” said Tetros Adanom Caprais, WHO Director-General. According to him, “the vaccine crisis explains the fundamental weakness at the root of the epidemic: the lack of global unity and sharing – the sharing of information and data, biological models, resources, technology and tools”. In order to strengthen global unity, the WHO Director-General has called on African nations to support “international legislation or any other legal framework possible to enhance international cooperation” in response to the epidemic.

The agreement could be discussed at a special session of the World Health Assembly in November.
