For more than two years, we have endured a pandemic that could have been prevented.  Had the right systems been in place, the world could have entered 2022 looking back at SARS-CoV-2 as a contained outbreak, instead of straining to manage hundreds of millions of new infections.

This cannot  and does not have to happen again. This pandemic has shown the necessity of a new international architecture that incentivizes effective preparedness and response, secures mutual assurance, includes disincentives for non-adherence and brings cohesion to a system in disarray.

On Tuesday, 12 April, The Panel for a Global Public Health Convention (GPHC) launched a Call to Action: The Pandemic Convention We Need Now. Through concrete solutions, accountability measures, and governance structures, GPHC propose a clear path forward to dramatically strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response systems by establishing a new Pandemic Treaty.

Together, we can prevent the next pandemic.
