dc.description.abstractIn May 2025, 124 WHO Member States adopted the first-ever Pandemic Agreement, rooted in principles of human dignity, equity, solidarity, and sovereignty, at the 78th World Health Assembly \[1\]. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed how unprepared the world was to face a pandemic and resistant to sharing \[2,3\]. From vaccine nationalism to fractured supply chains and the marginalization of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in scientific discovery and access, the world was caught flat-footed, despite prior warnings \[4,5\].
