In December 2021, the World Health Assembly established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response (WHO CA+).
The seventh meeting of the INB will be held from 6-10 November 2023 and resumes over 4-6 December 2023. During this meeting, WHO Member States will be invited to consider a proposal for negotiating text of the WHO pandemic agreement. This proposal is based on the discussions of the INB at its fourth, fifth and sixth meetings as well as the meeting of the drafting group, including its informal consultations and the reports of the co-facilitators of those consultations.
The opening and closing plenary sessions of the meeting will be open to WHO Member States, Associate Members, Observers and regional economic integration organizations, as well all relevant stakeholders. They will be publicly webcast and archived for later viewing.
The opening session of the meeting will take place on 6 November 2023. The closing plenary, during which the report of the meeting will be discussed, will take place at the end of the resumed meeting in December 2023.
