The future of global health is at stake at the WTO

The negotiations around the #TRIPSWaiver going on at the WTO could decide how and if the world will be able to put an end to the #Covid19 pandemic, but it will also leave a trail of legal precedents that could either even the balance between North and South or make things more unequal.

In the lead-up to the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference (MC12), the most important event held by the organisation, we have to remain vigilant.

Stay tuned for the #Fem4PeoplesVaccine rally until then

"When we talk about accountability to partnerships, there have to be parameters, inexcusable promotion and protection of #HumanRights & scrutiny of how partnerships work, & how benefits are shared.

"The absurd & unconscionable profits raked in by #BigPharma during #COVID are paid in human lives, particularly in the global South".
