Argentine Pres. describes inequality in access to vaccines as immoral
Buenos Aires, May 21 (Prensa Latina) Argentine President Alberto Fernandez on Friday noted that the serious inequality in access to vaccines amid the Covid-19 pandemic is an unfair and immoral fact, contrary to the interests of the international community.
On participating in the World Health Summit, convened by the Italian presidency of the G20 and the European Commission, the president described as fundamental to guarantee equitable and supportive access to vaccines and medicines.
During his presentation, via video conference, the head of State pointed out the disproportionate negative impact on developing countries and the most vulnerable populations of the serious health, economic and social consequences caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and advocated that scientific achievements should benefit everyone.
Equal access to the vaccines must be a priority for the States, as it is a necessary condition to overcome this pandemic and favor the effective enjoyment of the right to health, the president stated after insisting on the need to update the global health architecture in order to share knowledge and carry out joint research, among others.
