WHO Director-General Tedros Tedros said on the 11th that 2025 will be a year where WHO and the field of global health have achieved significant results and faced major challenges. Tedros pointed out at a press conference on the same day that the 78th World Health Assembly passed the World Health Organization Pandemic Agreement. This is a landmark achievement and will help make the world safer in the face of future pandemics. Tedros also said that immunization is still the cornerstone of global health. “Over the past 25 years, the death rate of children under 5 has been reduced by more than half, and the number of deaths has dropped from 11 million to 4.8 million per year. Vaccines are the main protagonist.”
