Podcast EP #11

After 2 long years since the waiver in intellectual property was tabled, what has the WTO delivered on equitable access to Covid-19 health technology? More specifically, how can we make sense of what happened at the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference and what does that mean for countries’ ability to respond to the pandemic?

Tune in to the newest episode of the #Fem4PeoplesVaccine podcast. Join Ranja Sengupta in an interview with Chee Yoke Ling, Director at the Third World Network, who was actively engaged in the high level advocacy process for the waiver. Yoke Ling shares her assessment of the WTO’s 12th Ministerial Conference process and outcomes, what we can celebrate, and what challenges lie ahead as the pandemic unfolds.
