The federal government is contributing another $375 million to the World Health Organization’s Access COVID-19 Tools Accelerator, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Friday.
Trudeau says the funds will help develop, produce and distribute diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines to low- and middle-income countries.
“To end this pandemic here and elsewhere, we need to fight the virus and variants around the world. That’s why all countries need to have access to vaccines and treatments and we must work together to make sure no one is left behind,” said Trudeau.
