Our governments are now negotiating a treaty to enable countries to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from pandemics of infectious diseases. We also need a treaty to respond to the pandemic of health inequities. That treaty would reinforce and enhance accountability around the right to health and its core principles, setting us on the path towards a healthier, more resilient, more just, more equal world. Just such a treaty has been proposed: a Framework Convention on Global Health (FCGH), which would be grounded in the right to health and aimed at closing national and global health inequities.
