WHO Director fears ‘moral catastrophe’ with regards to global distribution of COVID-19 vaccines
Local
World Health Organisation Director General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus opened this year’s executive conference with heavy words of fear of the world being on the brink of a moral catastrophe with regards to the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
Dr. Tedros expressed concern with wealthy nations disregarding the needs of the less-fortunate countries stating that “the price of this [moral] failure will be paid with lives and livelihoods in the world’s poorest countries”.
He went on to call for the just distribution of COVID-19 vaccines regardless of the countries’ wealth so that citizens do not suffer due to the their nations’ lack of financial fortitude.
