#COVID19 vaccines were developed in record time by speeding up scientific and regulatory processes and making them more efficient, as well as through at-risk manufacturing. This incredible feat sets an example for future vaccine development and clinical trials:
The governance of preparedness for #globalhealth is too complex and therefore underdeveloped. Addressing this fragmentation is necessary to facilitate stronger collective action and develop robust governance of #preparedness for health emergencies.

"More than ever, #COVID19 illustrates why investing in health must be at the centre of development.
Health is not a reward for development; it’s a prerequisite.
Health is not a cost; it’s an investment.
Health is a pathway to security, prosperity and peace"-@DrTedros#WHA73
