Governments and international organisations must invest now in research and development of diagnostics, treatments and vaccines. And they must support fair access to these lifesaving tools – so they become available to the most at-risk populations everywhere, regardless of ability to pay.

To achieve this, $31 billion is needed over the next 12 months. 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.
