We're excited to welcome Ines Hassan as Head of Secretariat, covering for Heulwen Philpot until mid-2026.

Ines will be attending the UN General Assembly, alongside IPPS colleagues from Monday - get in touch if you would like to set up a meeting.

Welcome, Ines!
A quote from Ines Hassan that reads: "My main focus will be on helping the community accelerate R&D for therapeutics -a critical gap in preparedness- and on establishing robust systems to monitor and assess progress on the 100 Days Mission, with a particular focus on R&D. The aim is to ensure that progress continues well beyond 2027, when IPPS sunsets. We’ll also be considering how the community can best address gaps in diagnostics and vaccines."

Consensus reached on the WHO #PandemicAgreement – a pivotal moment in global health cooperation.

Read our statement below or on our website: ippsecretariat.org/news/consens...
IPPS statement that reads: We welcome and celebrate the historic conclusion of negotiations on the draft WHO Pandemic Agreement. The agreement demonstrates a shared determination to prevent a repeat of the devastation caused by COVID-19 and to strengthen the world’s collective ability to prepare for, and respond to, future pandemics. It underlines the fact that no country can face pandemics alone, and reaffirms the vital importance of international cooperation, shared responsibility, and multilateralism in preparing for and responding to global health threats. Amidst a changing global health ecosystem, this moment demonstrates what is possible when the world comes together towards a common cause. “We commend the World Health Organization, the International Negotiating Body (INB) and the wider international community for reaching consensus on this historic agreement. We strongly support the commitments to strengthen R&D for medical countermeasures, and geographically distributed manufacturing underpinned by equity, transparency, and international collaboration which align with the aims of the 100 Days Mission. If adopted, IPPS stands ready to support countries and our 100 Days Mission partners, and multi-sectoral stakeholders, to support the implementation of the agreement” said IPPS Co-Chairs Dr Mona Nemer, Dr Victor Dzau and Shingai Machingaidze.

A quote from Dr Mona Nemer that reads: 'Pandemic risk is changing, and outbreaks are no longer rare events. Whilst this is a daunting thought, we cannot let this defy our practical or political efforts to have the right tools at our disposal before the next outbreak, so that we can respond faster and protect the livelihoods of all populations".

...but also at regional and national levels. Increasingly, regions are developing their own emergency triggers such as [Africa CDC's] PHEC and countries are triggering their own 100DM responses, as seen in Rwanda for Marburg.
