Thembekwayo, Dr S to ask the Minister of Health

Whether he will sign the World Health Organisation International Pandemic Treaty; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

Reply:

It is premature to decide on whether the Minister of Health will sign or not sign the proposed convention, agreement, or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response until a draft working document thereof is presented to Member States. The decision will therefore be informed by the scope of this Agreement in compliance with the prescripts in Section 231 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.

END.
