On May 20, 2025, the 78th World Health Assembly adopted the WHO Pandemic Agreement after three years of INB negotiations. Consensus was not reached on Article 12 (Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing, PABS). An Intergovernmental Working Group (IGWG) was established to negotiate a PABS annex. The sixth meeting is scheduled for March 23–28, 2026, with adoption expected at WHA79 in May 2026.
