How A Pandemic Treaty Protects Global Health Security

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the world’s vulnerabilities—and reignited global conversations about how to prepare for the next one.

In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Dr. Garry Aslanyan returns to unpack the proposed WHO Pandemic Treaty and how it builds on existing tools like the International Health Regulations. We explore what makes this treaty different, the debates shaping its negotiation, and what it could mean for countries like Canada.

From vaccine equity to intellectual property rights and misinformation, we break down why global health treaties matter for you as a local public health professional.
