MSF submission to APPG on Coronavirus Inquiry into the UK Government’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak

MSF submitted this briefing document to the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on COVID-19, and their inquiry into the government's handling of the COVID-19 outbreak.

The submission focuses on practical steps the UK government should take to ensure global equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, diagnostics and treatments.

The submission covers four key areas critical for achieving equitable access to future COVID-19 medical tools:

• Research and development (R&D) funding for COVID-19 medical products
• Transparency and accountability
• Global open sharing of COVID-19 technologies, knowledge, and data
• Ensuring global equitable access to COVID-19 technologies
