Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>President Lazarus Chakwera attended the launch of launch of \u2018An Accord for Healthier World\u2019, an initiative in which pharmaceutical giant, Pfizer, aims to provide all its patented, high quality medicines and vaccines to low-income countries on a not-for-profit basis.<\/p>\n

Malawi is one of the pioneering beneficiaries out of the targeted 45 lower-income countries under the initiative. President Chakwera attended the launch on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

He said yesterday that the accord seeks to close the glaring inequities that exist between many lower-income countries like Malawi and the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

Under the deal, Pfizer will provide 23 medicines and vaccines that treat infectious diseases, certain cancers and inflammatory diseases. There is also a provision that when the company produces new medicines and vaccines in the future, these too shall become part of the accord.<\/p>\n

Malawi \u2014 together with Rwanda, Senegal, Uganda and Ghana \u2014 are expected to create benchmark of the effectiveness of the program as it gradually transitions to the remaining countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is for this reason that my administration will play the rightful role of oversight and logistics to ensure that these medicines and vaccines are timey delivered in all marked-up outlets across communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis accord is the embodiment of what World Economic Forum is all about. We are here not for handouts but to cultivate real partnerships and create synergies that will empower us to achieve with global connections what we cannot in isolation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call upon all stakeholders in the health sector to ready themselves for the roll out of this phenomenal initiative that places human progress ahead of profit,\u201d said Chakwera in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n
