When COVID-19 presented a global health emergency more than three years ago, it also exposed weaknesses in health financing that led to delays and inequities in distributing essential vaccines, tests, and treatments for low- and middle-income countries.

This week, DFC and leading development finance institutions announced a sweeping collaboration to address those challenges and ensure a swifter and more equitable response going forward. The group will collaborate on surge financing during future health crises to help ensure widespread and equitable access to “medical countermeasures,” including vaccines, tests, treatments, and other supplies needed for an outbreak.
