9️⃣ The #PandemicAgreement – including #PABS – is one of the most tangible changes to the global order post #COVID19. Gains on supply chains, surveillance, R&D, and coordinated financing are within reach. We cannot let this opportunity slip. ⏳
8️⃣ @rani.co urged Member States to stay at the table, make the most of the intersessional period, and get a deal done – stressing that there is still time to finalise #PABS before #WHA79.
Statement: rani.co/find-a-path-...
6️⃣ @drtedros.who.int acknowledged disappointment in not completing #PABS during #IGWG6, but stressed that effort has not been wasted – progress was made, even if differences remain. He welcomed the decision to resume, calling the pause an opportunity for renewed clarity and flexibility.
5️⃣ On contracts 📄, delegates remain focused on distilling which provisions belong in the Annex itself and the process for developing full contracts once the #PABS Annex is finalised.
4️⃣ On benefits 💰, Member States explored arrangements that would give #PABS data users some flexibility in choosing benefit commitments, while guaranteeing that benefits flow both during pandemics and beyond.
3️⃣ On access 🔓, early signs point toward a ‘hybrid’ approach to database rules – one that could balance priorities around open and closed access, while ensuring adequate accountability for #PABS data users. But it will still take time for alignment.
1️⃣ Member States did not meet the goal of finishing the #PABS Annex at #IGWG6, but committed to continue negotiations ahead of #WHA79. Formal progress on the text was limited – yet informal dialogue showed new traction on some of the thorniest issues.
On Saturday, @who.int Member States concluded #IGWG6 without finalising the #PABS Annex – but with momentum. Negotiators agreed to extend talks, as traction was gaining on key issues.
Final-days takeaways 🧵👇🏼
Countries extend deadline for completing pandemic deal- at last #PABS

NEW STATEMENT. @rani.co encourages @who.int Member States to find a concrete path forward to finalise an #equitable #PABS Annex before #WHA79. We urge negotiators to stay at the table and get a deal done for a more #resilient future.

6️⃣ The next hours are critical ⚠️. Negotiators are expected to work through to Sunday morning to conclude the Annex. If there is no breakthrough, they will need to chart an alternative path for finalising #PABS – a decision that could affect the #PandemicAgreement's timeline for entry into force.
3️⃣ On access 🔓, delegates continue to debate database rules and arrangements that would allow proper identification of #PABS data and materials and their users.
Just past the halfway mark of #IGWG6, progress on the #PABS Annex has been incremental at best – putting major pressure on @who.int Member States to conclude negotiations in the next 48–60 hours.

9️⃣ @rani_action called on Member States to move from rhetoric to action:
▪️ Get an effective & equitable #PABS deal done, with opportunities for improvement over time
▪️ Advance the gains of the #PandemicAgreement and move towards implementation
⬇️ rani.co/it-is-time-t...
7️⃣ #HICs have focussed on open access to #PABS data to enable agile development of pandemic countermeasures – and an implementable system with the right incentives for private sector engagement.
6️⃣ Broadly, positions haven't shifted much since #IGWG5. #LMICs are pushing for greater legal certainty, robust traceability of #PABS material, and enforceable benefits – both during pandemics and between them.
1️⃣ #IGWG6 is the last scheduled PABS negotiation before #WHA79. For the next 6️⃣ days, Member States will focus exclusively on operationalising the #PABS system – designed to ensure benefits in exchange for disease surveillance and pathogen data sharing.
This week, @who.int Member State delegates are in Geneva for #IGWG6, aiming to finalise negotiations on the #PABS Annex and advance the #PandemicAgreement toward ratification.
Key takeaways from Day 1️⃣ and issues to watch as talks unfold 🧵👇🏼
