Resumen
Descripción
These remarks were delivered by World
Bank Group President David Malpass at the 2nd global
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) summit. He discusses:
the World Bank Group is working hard to support developing
countries with their health programs. Looking ahead, the new
financial intermediary fund (FIF) - for pandemic prevention,
preparedness, and response at the World Bank will complement
the financing and technical advice - core instruments that
strengthen health systems and preparedness. With support
from the G20, the Bank is proceeding quickly to develop the
FIF, working with interested governments, the World Health
Organization (WHO), and other partners. To achieve better
health outcomes, developing countries need strong political
leadership, commitment, and consistent domestic investments.
They also need more financial support from the international
community to build capacity.
