JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo said the world needed a new mechanism for global health and resilience, reflecting on the conditions that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, in a speech at the 76th UN General Assembly.
The President said, we hope that the COVID-19 pandemic will be handled quickly, fairly and equitably. The ability and speed between countries in overcoming COVID-19, including vaccination, is very lame.
In addition, the politicization and discrimination of vaccines still occurs. This must be resolved with concrete steps. According to him, in the future the world must rearrange the architecture of global health resilience.
"We need a new mechanism to mobilize global health resources, both funding, vaccines, medicines, medical devices and health workers quickly and evenly throughout the country," said President Jokowi in a virtual speech.
"It is necessary to standardize global health protocols for cross-border activities, for example regarding vaccination criteria, test results and other health status," he continued.
The President said the COVID-19 pandemic reminded us of the importance of distributing production centers for the world's vaccine needs in many countries.
President Joko Widodo further said that global economic recovery can only take place if the pandemic is under control and countries can work together to help each other for economic recovery.
"Indonesia and other developing countries open the door as wide as possible for quality investment, which opens up many job opportunities, transfers technology, increases human resource capacity and is sustainable," said President Joko Widodo.
