世界衛生組織就全球大流行病防範展開會談
WHO Holds Talks on Global Pandemic Preparedness
於2025年5月20日正式採納的世衛大流行病協定，是全球衛生領域具有歷史意義的一步。
The WHO Pandemic Agreement, officially adopted on May 20, 2025, marks a historic step in global health.
該協定源於新冠肺炎（COVID-19）的教訓，這項具有法律拘束力的文件，旨在確保國際社會能以更快速、更協調、更平等的方式應對未來的健康危機。
Born from the lessons of COVID-19, this legally binding instrument aims to ensure that the international community faces future health crises with greater speed, coordination, and equity.
協定的核心支柱之一，是確保包括疫苗和診斷試劑在內的救命醫療工具能夠獲得公平分配，尤其是對低收入和中等收入國家。
A primary pillar of the agreement is equitable access to life-saving medical tools, such as vaccines and diagnostics, especially for low- and middle-income countries.
儘管有些人對國家主權表示擔憂，但協定明確澄清，世衛組織無權對成員國強制實施封城或命令。
While some have expressed concerns regarding national sovereignty, the agreement explicitly clarifies that the WHO cannot impose lockdowns or mandates on member states.
相反，該協定在尊重各國自主權的同時，建立了一個協作框架，以加強全球衛生基礎設施。
Instead, it respects the autonomy of nations while establishing a collaborative framework to strengthen health infrastructure globally.
歸根究底，這項條約代表著我們在共同抗擊未來大流行病時，對多邊合作所作出的重大承諾。
Ultimately, this treaty represents a significant commitment to multilateral cooperation in our shared fight against future pandemics.
