ACCESS TO COVID-19 TOOLS (ACT) ACCELERATOR

About:

• “Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator” is a Global Collaboration to Accelerate the Development, Production and Equitable Access to New COVID-19 diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.
  
  
• A key goal is to level the global playing field so that any products will be available to rich and poor populations alike.
  
  
• The project, however, is still in the early stages. On May 4, countries and organizations are encouraged to start pledging contributions with an eye toward commitments worth about $8 billion in initial funding.
