STORYLINE
The President of the General Assembly, Csaba Kőrösi, said that while the “darkest days” of COVID-19 have passed, questions just continue to linger, “When will the next pandemic break out? Where and how will it hit humanity? What can we do to prevent it? How should we ensure that it causes the least possible damage to our societies?”
Addressing the interactive multistakeholder hearing today (9 May), as part of the preparatory process toward the High-level meeting on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response, Kőrösi said, “We must address the serious shortcomings in our national, regional, and global efforts to prevent another pandemic from taking a similar toll.”
In a video message, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) stated, “COVID-19 may be over as a global health emergency. But the threat of another pathogen emerging is even deadlier potential remains.”
He also said, “Member states are negotiating a new pandemic accord, a generational commitment that we will not go back to the old cycle of panic and neglect that left our world vulnerable but move forward with a shared commitment to meet shared threats with a shared response.”
He concluded, “As we recover from the collective trauma of COVID-19, we must work together to build a new future that's equitable, inclusive, and coherent.”
Following the morning session of the High-level meeting on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response, the president of the General Assembly addressed reporters, joined by the six co-facilitators of the three General Assembly negotiations related to health (Ambassadors of Guyana, Israel, Morocco, Poland, Thailand & Uzbekistan).
Kőrösi said, “It is a time of unprecedented and interlocking crisis in the world, and responding that it is, and it must be, a year of crisis management and transformation in the General Assembly.”
He continued, “The human dimension of this transformation is very closely characterized by three health-related negotiating processes on the Tuberculosis (TB) preparedness, the pandemic preparedness, and the universal health coverage. We are very strongly relying on the conviction of the member states and other stakeholders that when health is at risk, everything is at risk.”
The president of the General Assembly stressed, “It is not purely a health issue. It's an issue of policymaking, issue of financing, issue of scientific progress, issue of technological advancement, and issue of how we build trust among ourselves, and how to rebuild our networks of cooperation.”
Answering a journalist, Kőrösi said that the DAMA protocol (Document, Assess, Monitor, Act) is trying to identify “those mostly viruses that have the most potential of making the big jump to the human body. We know that there are about eight strains on the watch list now, but the number of potential bugs is much, much higher.”
But, he stressed, “This is not what we can decide here in the General Assembly. It is a job for researchers, for scientists. Our job is to draw lessons learned from our own mistakes.”
