Geneva Health Files
We understand that often policy-making happens in the context of inadequate information, even we do not have all the answers. But taking decisions where there is helpful evidence at hand is usually good use of history. Devising a medical countermeasures platform for future health emergencies is a case in point. It appears there is greater convergence between New York and Geneva processes on the discussions around Pandemic Preparedness and Response, than initially expected. While some diplomats worry that certain issues may be working at cross-purposes to Geneva negotiations, we will have to wait to see how these discussions will evolve.
