Le coronavirus et la coopération internationale

Health Policy Watch (HPW) "The newly released policy brief “What’s new in the draft Pandemic Agreement?” shows how the draft agreement builds on lessons from COVID-19 by proposing a systemic approach to pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response (PPPR). The analysis is structured in three parts: (1) a comparison with the amended International Health Regulations (IHR) to understand why a new instrument was deemed necessary and how the two frameworks could work together; (2) a thematic grouping of related articles, illustrating the integrated logic of the draft text; and (3) a focus on the ‘green’ provisions—articles already broadly agreed—which introduce meaningful innovations and mark progress beyond existing international health law."

Third World Network "Iran raised concerns over the Intergovernmental Negotiation Body (INB) Bureau’s deletion of text without strikethrough indication from the negotiating text of the pandemic instrument, leading to a situation where certain provisions appear fully agreed, though there are pending issues. (...) When the INB Co-Chair tabled the current programme of work for adoption, Iran raised its reservations and stated: “Our understanding is that this draft programme of work contains those elements that are under discussion. As several articles have been marked as green or modified without sufficient inclusive consultative process following the closure of the December meeting, we reserve the right to raise our concerns whenever necessary with an understanding nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.”

Geneva Solutions "In May 2024, countries agreed on amendments to the World Health Organization (WHO) International Health Regulations (IHR). These legally binding rules govern how all member states address the threat of infectious disease outbreaks that may cross borders. This was a much-needed diplomatic success for weary negotiators in a polarised geopolitical context, and the amendments filled some gaps in the IHR that Covid-19 exposed. However, they also left unaddressed many critical and politically difficult issues that now fall under the Pandemic Agreement (PA). The PA was to cross the finish line side-by-side with the IHR, but countries could not reach a consensus, so negotiations were extended to the May 2025 World Health Assembly."

Medicus Mundi Suisse La pandémie COVID-19 a montré qu'aucun pays au monde n'était suffisamment préparé à une pandémie. Les 194 États membres de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) ont donc décidé fin 2021 de tirer les leçons de cette pandémie et d'élaborer un accord mondial sur des mesures transfrontalières contraignantes afin de prévenir de futures crises sanitaires mondiales. Par exemple, la coopération, la coordination, la solidarité , ainsi qu'une coopération intersectorielle sont essentielles. Dans ce numéro, vous découvrirez les leçons tirées de la pandémie de Covid-19 et les mesures concrètes mises en œuvre pour prévenir de futures crises sanitaires. Nous rendons également compte d'un échange entre des parlementaires et des expert∙e∙s suisses de la santé sur des questions relatives à la sécurité sanitaire actuelle.

INB member states will face contentious procedural issues and thorny debates over the resolution of substantive matters including a system for Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing (PABS), One Health; and a formula assuring more equitable access to pandemic health products, where wide gaps remain. Debate around these outstanding issues is a focus of this latest issue of the Governing Pandemics Snapshot."

British Medical Journal (bmj) "The covid-19 pandemic has undoubtedly challenged our previously held assumptions about global disease epidemiology. Classic public health teaching promulgates the theory of a prevailing epidemiologic transition—one in which the burden of disease morphs from predominantly infectious causes to non-communicable causes as countries industrialize. That theory has now been turned on its head as public health campaigns in industrialized countries promote basic hygiene, while restrictive lockdowns upend regular life. For many, these developments feel like regression to a hitherto forgotten era, with industrialized nations now living the contemporary experience of many in developing countries."

World Health Organisation (WHO) Brazzaville/ Cairo, 7 April 2020 – The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Africa has risen to more than 10 000 and caused more than 500 deaths. While the virus was slow to reach the continent compared to other parts of the world, infection has grown exponentially in recent weeks and continues to spread. Reaching the continent through travellers returning from hotspots in Asia, Europe and the United States, Africa’s first COVID-19 case was recorded in Egypt on 14 February. Since then a total of 52 countries have reported cases. Initially, mainly confined to capital cities, a significant number of countries in Africa are now reporting cases in multiple provinces.

The New Humanitarian "NAIROBI - Africa was one of the last regions to register a confirmed coronavirus case, but COVID-19 is now spreading fast. There have so far been more than 9,400 confirmed cases in 52 countries, with no sign yet of a slow down. Governments initially responded with travel bans and flight restrictions. As coronavirus cases have climbed, most African countries have implemented social distancing measures – including lockdowns and curfews – to try and contain the secondary spread within communities. But in cities like Nairobi, two-thirds of the 4.4 million people are crammed into informal settlements that lack basic services, and entire families can live in a single room."

The Washington Post "How do the world’s poorest nations tackle a global health crisis like the current novel coronavirus outbreak? After the 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa, the World Bank launched the Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility (PEF) — an insurance-based mechanism to raise money for pandemic responses in low-income countries through “catastrophe bonds” and derivatives. The coronavirus pandemic is exactly the situation for which the PEF was designed. Most of the PEF-eligible countries are reporting cases of covid-19 (the disease caused by this coronavirus) and urgently require billions of dollars to scale up their public health response. So far, the PEF has yet to pay out a single dollar. Here’s what happened and why." (Photo: World Bank Photo Collection/flickr, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)

Although many aspects of this new infection remain uncertain, one thing is already clear. The risk of dying from covid-19 increases with age, and most of the deaths observed are in people older than 60, especially those with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease."

In any health crisis, our first concern is (and should be) with the health of those affected. More than 4,000 people have died worldwide and more than 113,000 cases have been confirmed in over 110 countries. But unfortunately, the economic impacts also have dramatic effects on the wellbeing of families and communities. For vulnerable families, lost income due to an outbreak can translate to spikes in poverty, missed meals for children, and reduced access to healthcare far beyond COVID-19. While the spread in the United States and Europe absorbs much of the media coverage, confirmed cases from Bangladesh to Brazil, from Cameroon to Costa Rica, and in many other low- and middle-income countries mean that many of the economic impacts may affect the world’s most vulnerable populations."

This is of “significant concern” WHO said on Monday in a statement, because people with NCDs also are more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and death.
