Health Minister Roberto Speranza told
G7 colleagues Monday that it was not enough to donate COVID
vaccines to the most fragile countries, which needed more
support too.
"The identification of the Omicron variant in southern Africa
confirms the urgency of doing more to vaccinate the population
of the most fragile countries, and there will be a need for a
coordinating role by the United Nations and the World Health
Organization," he said.
"It's not enough to donate doses, we must concretely support
those who do not have structured and blanket health services
like ours.
"We must be certain that the vaccines donated are effectively
administered and to do that in the most fragile countries you
will need a coordination role by the UN and WHO".
