PETALING JAYA: The 194 countries that are member states of the World Health Organisation (WHO) should disclose information on the intellectual property and manufacturing know-how of vaccines, diagnostics and therapeutics, said Khairy Jamaluddin. The Health Minister said Malaysia supports sustainable financing and reforms towards an international "health architecture" that will avoid "moral failure" in responses towards the Covid-19 pandemic.
