Pandemic treaty as an effective global health architecture for future pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the fundamental weakness that existed in the global health system which offers inadequate protection from pandemics, from the issues of the gross inequity in global vaccine distribution to the ‘me-first’ approaches that left the most vulnerable people and nations without vaccines, medicines, and health equipment. All prevention, preparedness, detection, and response stages to the outbreak after its declared as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), have shown serious flaws, which resulted in the COVID-19 pandemic having even more devastating effects than it could have had.

The flaws of the global health system and IHR1, include (1) the WHO’s inability to independently verify state reports, as highlighted by China’s failure to notify the WHO promptly of a widely circulating novel coronavirus in Wuhan; (2) weak WHO compliance mechanisms to enforce IHR obligations and its recommendations; (3) the WHO’s lack of power to monitor, investigate, and remediate harmful actions; (4) insufficient transparency and international exchange of scientific data; and (5) lack of global cooperation, especially in the equitable allocation of vaccines and other medical resources.

Indonesia is of the view that international collaboration is needed to strengthen global health architecture to better prepare the world for facing future pandemic threats. Indonesia is one of the WHO members states that politically supported the need for a pandemic treaty. Indonesia for the ongoing negotiation must consider the lessons learned from the COVID-19. The new instrument should serve as a global health architecture, that allows WHO members States to address pre-existing inequities and the differential needs of developing and least developed countries of the Global South.

The proposal for an international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response must be guided by a spirit of collective solidarity, anchored in the principles of fairness, inclusiveness, and transparency.
