00:00On Friday, we received the information we needed from one of the manufacturers to evaluate
00:09its vaccine.
00:11We expect to issue an emergency use listing within the next three weeks.
00:17In the meantime, I have given the green light to the Gavi and UNICEF to proceed with procurement
00:23of vaccines pending the EUL decision.
00:29We will provide more information during the MPOC session on Wednesday or after tomorrow.
00:36I am confident that the leadership of the affected countries, the support of WHO at
00:43all three levels, and the partnership of the Africa CDC and others, we can bring this outbreak
00:52under control quickly.
00:55Just as we have with many other outbreaks in recent years.
01:01We have learned valuable lessons from our experiences with Ebola, COVID-19, and more.
01:09Indeed, improvements in health emergency preparedness and response have been a defining feature
01:16of the transformation of the African regional office under the leadership of my sister,
01:22Dr. Shidi Mweti.
01:25Nevertheless, weaknesses remain in the health security architecture, globally and in Africa,
01:32so I am pleased to see that your agenda this week includes consideration of an innovative
01:38approach to strengthening the architecture.
