ISLAMABAD: Health Minister Dr Nadeem Jan on Thursday said that Pakistan was going to become first country in the world to organise the global health security summit.<\/p>\n
He was speaking to Ambassador of Saudi Arabia Nawaf Saeed Al Malkiy who called on the minister.<\/p>\n
Dr Jan said that the summit will be held by the end of the current year to showcase Pakistan\u2019s capacity to lead the health agenda in the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe event will cover pandemic preparedness and response vaccine equity issues with at least a 20 per cent allocation for low- and middle-income countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe summit may conclude with the signing of a global charter in Pakistan and the creation of a global pandemic planning response facility for low- and middle-income countries to prevent disproportionate utilisation of vaccines between the first and third world. The theme is to depoliticise pandemics so developing countries can be inherently resilient as opposed to awaiting external support,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe summit will also discuss how to address the issue of patents and utilise manufacturing industries across nations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
