9.2a What interventions work best to accelerate the development of and equitable access to new health technologies (vaccines, diagnostics and treatments, new modalities of delivery) for diseases with epidemic and pandemic potential?
Background
FCDO supports long-term research investment to tackle a range of global health problems. This spans areas such as preventable maternal and childhood mortality, comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), diseases of poverty (such as malaria, TB, HIV/AIDS and Neglected Tropical Diseases) emerging infectious diseases and diseases of epidemic potential.
We support the development of and equitable access to new vaccines, diagnostics and treatments; applied research to strengthen health systems and financing, and building inclusive and equitable partnerships for collaborative research. We recognise the scientific strengths of partner countries and the importance of localised, context specific research. Greater evidence and research are needed on how increased conflict and fragility, climate change and food insecurity are challenging efforts to make progress towards the health SDGs, especially for the most vulnerable people in LMICs.
