Accountability for pandemic financing decisions

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Nelson Evaborhene and colleagues call for regionally led accountability for pandemic preparedness and highlight gaps between financial pledges and disbursement.1 I suggest that existing country-led health-sector reviews also identify financing obstacles and seek public, time-bound responses from institutions with authority to act, including funders and intermediaries whose decisions lie beyond recipient countries’ control.
