Discussions on the draft pandemic accord took place during the fifth meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB).
INB was established by World Health Assembly (highest decision-making body of WHO) in 2021.
It includes WHO’s 194 countries.
It was established to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.
The INB’s work is based on the principles of inclusiveness, transparency, efficiency, Member State leadership and consensus.
