DESCRIPTION:It has been two years since the COVID-19 pandemic began and mo
 re than six million people have died from the disease. While more than 60%
  of those in rich countries can now access a vaccine\, poor countries have
  received only 1% of the doses distributed. Moreover\, with climate change
  and unaddressed global health problems humanity faces the threat of even 
 more devastating pandemics in the future. How can the international commun
 ity support the development\, procurement and supply of medical countermea
 sures and tools to shorten the response time to a pandemic and deliver equ
 itable global access?\n\nMore effective pandemic preparation and response 
 will require new financing for counter-measure innovation and ensuring equ
 itable access to the fruits of scientific progress. Recent discussions of 
 innovative financing have often focused narrowly on funding counter-measur
 es with some attention given to disease surveillance and country preparedn
 ess plans to promote health security. But should adequate funding for pand
 emic preparation and response focus only on the development and supply of 
 counter-measures\, including those better adapted for use in resource-poor
  settings? Or should it also include financing to build good health system
 s that can deliver counter-measures? Financing health security in this bro
 ader sense might require ensuring sufficient resources for adequate pandem
 ic preparation\, early detection\, and a robust\, equitable response that 
 guarantees priority health technologies and quality health services for al
 l. \n\nThis roundtable discussion\, chaired by Dr Caesar Atuire\, will sta
 rt with short presentations from the panellists\, followed by a Q&A sessio
 n.\n\nThe event is co-hosted with the Global Health Impact Project the Cen
 ter for Global Development and the Independent Research Group for Global H
 ealth Justice.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Jonathan Wolff (Blavatnik School of G
 overnment)\, Dr Caesar Atuire (University of Ghana)\, Michelle Childs (DND
