"A month ago, WHO and partners launched the ACT Accelerator, to speed up the development, production and equitable distribution of vaccines, diagnostics and therapeutics for #COVID19"- @DrTedros
"Today we are joining 35 countries and numerous partners to launch the #COVID19 Technology Access Pool, or C-TAP.
C-TAP was first proposed by President @CarlosAlvQ of #CostaRica, and I’d like to thank His Excellency the President for his leadership and solidarity"- @DrTedros

"Through C-TAP, we are inviting companies or governments that develop an effective therapeutic to contribute the patent to the Medicines Patent Pool, which would then sub-license the patent to generic manufacturers"- @DrTedros #COVID19
"C-TAP is voluntary, and builds on the success of the Medicines Patent Pool in expanding access to treatments for HIV and hepatitis C.
WHO recognizes the important role that patents play in fuelling innovation. But this is a time when people must take priority"- @DrTedros #COVID19
