Ahead of INB 7, Action for Animal Health has made recommendations for the content of a new World Health Organization pandemic accord.
The coalition has urged member states to make One Health, and obligations to prevent of spill-over of pathogens from animals to people, front and centre of the accord.
The recommendations state that prevention of spill-over represents the most cost-effective way to prevent another pandemic.
