# Members of the World Health Organisation adopted an agreement yesterday intended to improve preparedness for future pandemics following the disjointed global response to Covid-19. After three years of negotiations, the legally binding pact was adopted by the World Health Assembly in Geneva. The pact was touted as a victory for members of the global health agency at a time when multilateral organisations like the W-H-O have been battered by sharp cuts in US foreign funding. Health experts welcomed the treaty as a step towards greater fairness in global health.
