Coronavirus Pandemic will last longer due to global inequality in access to vaccines, as well as due to the inconsistent application of public health measures. This was stated by the general director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adan Gebresus, writes “Moskovsky Komsomolets”.
He noted that the current situation provides coronavirus infection more space for mutation and distribution. The head of WHO also added that the core of the current Pandemic COVID-19 was the crisis of solidarity, which aggravated the fundamental flaws in the global health architecture. In particular, Gebriesus noted complex, fragmented management and insufficient financing.
Earlier, Gebresus said that “the pandemic will end when the world decides to complete it.” According to him, the world has “all the necessary tools” for victory over a pandemic, including in the field of public health and medicine. “However, the world did not use these tools well,” said Greesus. He recalled the goals announced earlier: vaccinating from COVID-19 at least 40 percent of the population of each country by the end of 2021.
