Geneva | The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that the world is facing a ‘catastrophic moral collapse’ due to uneven COVID-19 vaccine policies. According to a BBC report, WHO head Trados Adanom Ghebreyes said that it is not appropriate that young, healthy people in rich countries get vaccinated before the weak in poor states.
He said that more than 39 million vaccine doses were given in 49 rich states, but a poor nation received only 25 doses.
Meanwhile, both the WHO and China were criticized for the Kovid reaction.
An independent panel formed by the WHO said that the UN public health body should have first declared an international emergency, and also reprimanded China for not implementing public health measures sooner.
So far China, India, Russia, Britain and the US have all developed Kovid vaccines, while others are being made by multinational teams, such as the American-German Pfizer vaccine.
Almost all of these countries have given priority to distribution for their respective populations.
In a WHO executive board session on Monday, Tredos said, “I need to be frustrated, the world is on the verge of a catastrophic moral collapse and this collapse has to be paid for with life and livelihood in the world’s poorest countries.”
Tredos said that at first we approach is like self-degradation, because it will raise prices and encourage hoarding.
He added, “Ultimately these actions will only prolong the epidemic.”
The WHO chief called for full commitment to Kovacs, a global vaccine-sharing scheme that is scheduled to begin next month.
Tredos said, “My challenge for all member states is that until World Health Day on April 7, Kovid-19 vaccines are being administered in every country, a symbol of hope to eliminate both pandemics and inequality. As are. ”
So far, more than 180 countries have signed up to take Kovacs, supported by the WHO and the Group of International Vaccine Advocacy. The aim is to unify the countries into one block, so that they have more power to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies.
