As Ebola spreads in the DRC, the Brazilian president and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus ask leaders to agree pandemic treaty created after Covid World leaders have been urged to keep a promise to the millions of people who died during Covid by finalising an agreement on how to deal with future pandemics. As a G7 summit begins in France, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization, and Brazilâs president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, have issued a joint letter saying a treaty needs urgent political backing at the highest level because âthe next pandemic will not wait for usâ. The letter comes amid a rapidly expanding Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that already has 782 confirmed cases and 181 deaths. Negotiators will meet next month for a new round of talks on the âpathogen access and benefit sharingâ annexe to the WHO pandemic agreement.
