WHO Director-General's opening remarks at the media briefing on COVID-19 - 7 September 2020

When the next pandemic comes, the world must be ready. Part of every country’s commitment to build back better must therefore be to invest in public health, as an investment in a healthier and safer future.There are many examples of countries that have done exactly that.
