Premier Mario Draghi said Tuesday
that the COVID-19 emergency has highlighted the need to look
long term and invest in the health sector.
"The current pandemic forces us to be better prepared for the
future," Draghi said as he took part in a webinar with European
Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen to listen to
representatives of civil society ahead of the Global Health
Summit in Rome on May 21.
"Our work must start now because we don't know how long this
pandemic will last or when the next one will strike.
"We must support research, strengthen supply chains and
restructure the national health systems.
"We have to strengthen coordination and global cooperation".
