We had very helpful commentary by the World Health Organization during Covid on public health generally and how we see it and how we see public health services. There was the notion of solidarity among member states first and foremost. As was said, nobody is well until everybody is well, or whatever the phrase was. Public health is very important and globally equity is important in terms of vaccines. What lessons have been taken from all of this for the agreement with regard to public health, public health services and equity of access to healthcare? Do they run through the agreement?
