health Minister Teymur Musayev has said that the Non-Aligned
Movement, under the chairmanship of Azerbaijan, has taken a series
of successful initiatives in terms of combating the COVID-19
pandemic and dealing with its negative impact, Azernews
reports.
He made the remarks speaking at the 75th session of the World
Health Assembly in Geneva on the topic 'Health for peace, peace for
health'.
'Since the start of the pandemic, under the chairmanship of
Azerbaijan, the Non-Aligned Movement, by actively mobilizing the
efforts of the wider international community in a spirit of
multilateralism, cooperation, and solidarity, has taken a number of
successful initiatives in terms of combating the pandemic and
dealing with its negative impact,' he said.
He underlined that the inequality between developing and
developed countries in terms of the COVID-19 vaccine distribution
prevents the international community from achieving complete
elimination of the pandemic in a short period. Musayev added that
it is important to strengthen all relevant aspects of essential
health services to ensure the sustainability of the health system
and to take effective action against the pandemic.
'This, along with various actions, must also include the
continuation of ongoing vaccination programs for universal health
care accessibility,' he added.
At the end of his speech, Teymur Musayev noted that another
high-level meeting of the NAM member states is planned to exchange
views on the post-pandemic period and shape the position of the
movement.
The 75th World Health Assembly is being held in Geneva,
Switzerland, on May 22-28, 2022. It is the first in-person Health
Assembly since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
