"Urgent lessons from COVID-19: why the world needs a standing, coordinated system and sustainable financing for global research and development"

The Lancet

The  research  and  development  (R&D)  ecosystem  has  evolved  over  the  past  decade  to  include  pandemic  infectious  diseases, building on experience from multiple recent outbreaks. Outcomes of this evolution have been particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic with accelerated development of vaccines and monoclonal antibodies, as well as  novel  clinical  trial  designs.  These  products  were  developed,  trialled,  manufactured,  and  authorised  for  use  in  several countries within a year of the pandemic’s onset. Many gaps remain, however, that must be bridged to establish a  truly  efficient  and  effective  end-to-end  R&D  preparedness  and  response  ecosystem.
