SUPPORTING GLOBAL EFFORTS TO PREVENT, PREPARE FOR, AND RESPOND TO PANDEMICS

 * Media release

20 September 2023

Australia will provide $100 million to the World Health Organization (WHO) to
support global efforts to prevent, prepare for, and respond to pandemics.

COVID-19 demonstrated that global challenges require collective action. 

At the UN High-Level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response,
I announced the Australian Government will provide $75 million in voluntary core
funding over five years to the WHO, and a further $25 million for the WHO’s
Health Emergencies Programme.

Our commitment to the WHO will support activities to mitigate the risk of future
pandemics, including strengthening national health systems and responding to
disease outbreaks.

We will also work with the WHO and partners to support coordinated responses to
emerging disease threats in our region, and ensure the global system meets our
region’s needs.

Australia is committed to playing our part to strengthen the global health
system, so we can be better prepared for future shocks.

We need a strong global health system to help keep Australia, our region, and
the world safe. This means a strong, capable WHO with the authority to respond
quickly and decisively to complex health emergencies.
