Resuming deliberations, the World Health Organization’s member states hope to reach a worldwide consensus on the “next pandemic” first.

Furthermore, they have consented to recommence talks to conclude a deal about the “pandemic” between April 29 and May 10, 2024.

This choice was made following lengthy deliberations among nations on important matters to improve everyone’s readiness for pandemics in the future and their ability to respond to them equitably and successfully.
