IMF launches global vaccination proposal
The International Monetary Fund wants to have 50,000 million dollars to get this to at least 40% of the population by the end of the year
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) prepared a proposal that consists of having 50,000 million dollars to apply a mass vaccination plan against Covid-19 for the world.
The organism’s goal is to have 40 % of the world’s population vaccinated by the end of this year.
“Our proposal sets objectives, assesses financing needs and defines pragmatic actions”, said Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF, at the World Health Summit held in Rome, within the framework of the G20.
The rest of the population should be vaccinated by the end of 2022, Georgieva said, in order to have a sustainable global economic recovery.
The authors of the IMF report stress that it is evident there will be no “sustainable end” to the economic crisis if health crisis is not resolved. Therefore, it is in the interest of all countries to put an end to this crisis for good.
To bring the world back on the path of growth, the IMF makes a series of proposals, and the first one is to help developing countries improve their vaccination campaigns.
