世界卫生组织成员国在日内瓦就《大流行病协议》的病原体获取与惠益分享（PABS）附件进行了为期两周的谈判，第七次政府间工作组会议于上周五结束[1]。各国重申致力于建立一套支持快速、有效和公平应对未来大流行病的系统，确保病原体及其衍生疫苗、诊断工具和治疗方案的惠益得到公平分享[1]。
谈判涉及多个技术和政治复杂议题，包括PABS系统的契约安排、实验室网络结构、病原体及其序列信息的共享处理，以及病原体共享产生的惠益定义[1]。各方在这些关键要素上取得了有意义的进展[1]，但仍需继续密集谈判以达成共识。WHO总干事谭德塞表示："病原体和科学信息应被迅速共享，其产生的惠益应被公平公正地分享"[1]。
第八次政府间工作组会议将于2026年9月14-18日举行[1]。
WHO member states concluded two weeks of negotiations on the Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing (PABS) Annex to the pandemic accord at the seventh Intergovernmental Working Group (IGWG) session in Geneva, which ended on Friday of the previous week [1]. Member states reaffirmed their commitment to establishing a system that supports rapid, effective, and equitable responses to future pandemics by ensuring fair benefit-sharing of pathogens and their derivative vaccines, diagnostic tools, and treatments [1].
Negotiators made meaningful progress on several technically and politically complex elements of the PABS framework, including contractual arrangements for the system, laboratory network structures, the handling of pathogen and sequence information sharing, and the definition of benefits derived from pathogen access [1]. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that "pathogens and scientific information should be shared rapidly, and the benefits generated should be shared equitably and fairly" [1]. Brazilian Ambassador Tovar noted that "meaningful progress was achieved over the past two weeks on the most technical and politically complex elements of the PABS Annex" [1].
The eighth IGWG session is scheduled for September 14-18, 2026, signaling that intensive negotiations will continue toward achieving consensus on the framework [1]. The ongoing talks build on the World Health Assembly's approval of the WHO pandemic accord in May 2025 and the establishment of the open-ended intergovernmental working group [1].
