Governments and international organisations must continue to invest in the research and development of tests, treatments and vaccines. And they must support fair access to these lifesaving tools – so they are available to those most in need everywhere.

To achieve this, $18.1 billion is needed in 2021. Investing now, at scale and as a collective global effort, is the only way to save lives, reduce the spread of Covid-19 and bring societies and economies back on track.
