Not a surprise #pandemicaccord didn't successfully conclude in 2 yrs given perennially difficult issues, impossibly high expectations, inhospitable geopolitics

Important MS given reason to believe not failure either, but a start: theres path forward, int'l coop on PPR neednt end

DG Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a brave leader of World Health Organization (WHO)

“My wish is that we will come out of the Health Assembly re-energized and inspired, because the world still needs a pandemic treaty and the world needs to be prepared…. I am still positive despite the outcome… this is not a failure”.

👏👏👏

After 2 years of work, I'll be honest. I was disappointed the WHA won't adopt a World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Accord

But I'm an optimist. There's enough progress & good will to get this done in 6-12 months. As Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, it's not a failure

I also hope to celebrate adoption of a new IHR
