Venezuela proposes to the NAM to create an instance that guarantees access to vaccines against Covid-19

The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, proposed the incorporation of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) in the preparation of the vaccine against Covid-19. The Head of State invited each member country of the organization to nominate scientists who have direct participation in the realization of this vaccine, with the aim of achieving containment of the virus that plagues humanity. He pointed out that the creation of a council of specialists is vital to guarantee access to diagnostic tests and all protocols and treatments for Covid-19. In addition, he proposed a symposium to be held in the coming days through a videoconference in which all the Ministers of Health of the 120 member countries participate, as well as specialists to share experiences in the fight against the pandemic. During his statements at the Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which took place this Monday under the slogan “United against Covid-19”, the President also pointed out that Venezuela remains in the forefront, fighting against Covid-19 and highlighted that 482 thousand 953 diagnostic tests have been carried out in Venezuelan territory.
