  • Global Health Summit
    AT A GLANCE Global Health Summit The Global Health Summit – jointly hosted by the European Commission and Italy, as chair of the Group of Twenty (G20) – will take place on 21 May 2021 in Rome. Bringing together leaders, heads of international and regional organisations and representatives of global health bodies, it will provide a platform for sharing lessons learned from the coronavirus pandemic. The discussions will feed into a declaration of principles that can guide multilateral cooperation and joint action to prevent future health crises. Meanwhile, in a parallel process initiated by European Council President Charles Michel, world leaders are calling for an international treaty on pandemics. Context Global health emergencies, and particularly the coronavirus pandemic, have shown the critical need for preparedness. The world is interconnected, and 'no-one is safe until everyone is safe'. At the same time, there are large disparities in how countries are able to cope with, and recover from, the pandemic, as illustrated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) dashboards on preparedness and vulnerabilities. Under the United Nation's sustainable development goal (SDG) 3, which seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages, target 3.d sets out to 'strengthen the capacity of all countries, in particular developing countries, for early warning, risk reduction and management of national and global health risks'. Progress can be visualised in the UN SDG indicators database and the open-source 'Our World in Data' SDG tracker (2018 data). The collective failure in global preparedness is laid bare in A World in Disorder (2020).

    Press release 02-09-2020 - 16:41 20200827IPR85809 COVID-19: EU countries should harmonise testing procedures and frequency • Upsurge of COVID-19 cases at EU level in the last five weeks to 46 infections per 100.000 inhabitants per week • Need to harmonise testing procedures as testing frequency ranges from 173 to 6.000 per 100.000 per week in EU member states • Stronger role for the ECDC needed including enabling it to issue recommendations EU needs a common approach to limit COVID-19 and avoid member states designating other EU countries as red zones, EP’s committee responsible for public health says. On Wednesday, the Committee for Environment, Public Health and Food Safety held a debate with Dr Andrea Ammon, Director of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), after she gave an update on the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic in the EU and the ECDC’s work to address it. Dr Ammon highlighted the most recent data related to COVID-19 in the EU including: • Notification rate at EU level on the rise in the last five weeks to currently 46 COVID- 19 infections per 100.000 inhabitants per week • Epidemiological situation different across the EU ranging from 2 to 176 cases per 100.000 inhabitants • Testing for COVID-19 range from 173 to 6.000 per 100.000 inhabitants per week which has a direct impact on the notification rate • Second infections of COVID-19 very rare and with milder symptoms • A protocol on winter and seasonal flu is being established by ECDC with member states for 1 October, including increased flu vaccination for vulnerable groups Many MEPs highlighted the need to achieve a common approach in limiting the spread of COVID-19 and replace the current tendency for many member states to designate other EU countries as red zones and close borders.

    Mr Yannis Vardakastanis President European Disability Forum Avenue des Arts 7-8, 1210 Brussels, Belgium Email: [email protected] Stockholm, 05 June 2020 Our Ref: DIR-2020-OUT-1735-AACrDr Re: The right to health for persons with disabilities in the ECDCs work on the COVID 19 pandemic Dear President Yannis Vardakastanis, Thank you for your letter dated 29th May 2020 on the right to health for persons with disabilities in the ECDCs work on the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognise that there are certain persons that are particularly vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic, including those persons with disabilities. We have aimed to capture information about those groups and the issues they are facing through the survey on ‘socially and medically vulnerable populations in the EU/EEA and the UK during the Covid-19 pandemic’ and in the consequent report. We have ensured that groups working within this area have received the survey and we are aware that your organisation has responded to the survey, and we would like to thank you for this. To ensure that the ECDC report will sufficiently capture the issues that persons with disabilities are facing during the pandemic, in particular around access to services and any good practices that can be shared with Member States, we would be very happy to set up a videoconference to discuss this. We would also be grateful if your organisation was willing to review the draft report. Thank you for reaching out to ECDC and for your willingness to provide support to achieve the best results for our work.
