The World Health Organisation (WHO) Chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Thursday that he was hopeful an annex to a pandemic treaty would be adopted next year, saying that he did not see bilateral negotiations between the United States (US) and African states as a threat
Ghebreyesus told reporters at a press briefing in Geneva that he was “hopeful” that a deal on an annex covering the sharing of pathogenic information could be finalised before a major WHO summit in May 2026.
“Bilateral agreements are no problem to be honest. It doesn’t affect (the annex) and I’m not worried,” he said.
