Geneva Telegram - The World Health Assembly – Pandemic accord, sustain-able finance and geopolitics

The "Geneva Telegram" explores events in Geneva-based multilateral organizations on a current topic. This time, the focus is on the 76th World Health Assembly (May 21-30, 2023).

The 76th World Health Assembly (WHA) was the first after the end of the Covid pandemic declared in early May. And yet the experiences made during the Covid-19 crisis shaped the meeting - as evident from many statements on the pandemic accord under discussion. The Member States of the World Health Organisation (WHO) also discussed WHO finances: they greenlighted an increase in the assessed contributions of Member States and discussed possibilities of new financing models.

Summary of the Policy Brief on Antimicrobial Resistance

Pandemic Accord: An Opportunity to Advance Political Commitment to Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

As world leaders reflect on lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and other global outbreaks to address gaps and improve future responses, current discussions on an international treaty on pandemic prevention and preparedness offer a unique opportunity at a critical time to address the growing public health threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It has emerged as one of the greatest public health challenges of the twenty-first century, threatening the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing number of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi that are resistant to the medicines commonly used to treat them.

Überraschung bei der Ersatzwahl des Schweizer Bundesrats

Albert Rösti (SVP) und Elisabeth Baume-Schneider (SP) ersetzen Simonetta Sommaruga und Ueli Maurer

Durch den Rücktritt der langjährigen Bundesratsmitglieder Ueli Maurer (Schweizerische Volkspartei, SVP) und Simonetta Sommaruga (Sozialdemokratische Partei der Schweiz, SP) war eine Ersatzwahl von zwei der sieben Schweizer Bundesräte notwendig geworden. Entgegen der Erwartungen setzte sich die linke Elisabeth Baume-Schneider gegen die favorisierte Basler Parteigenossin Eva Herzog im 3. Wahlgang durch. Keine Überraschung gab es hingegen beim SVP-Kandidaten: Hier setzte sich mit dem ehemaligen Parteivorsitzenden Albert Rösti der Favorit gegen seinen Parteifreund Hans-Ueli Vogt durch.
