WHO assures full cooperation with Russia

OMS; Rusia, cooperación
Moscow, Jun 16 (Prensa Latina) Melita Vuinovich, representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Russia, on Thursday stated that this agency of the United Nations continues cooperating with the country in its entirety and in all areas.

“We continue cooperating on tuberculosis, non-communicable diseases, salt consumption … on everything. What we have done so far, we will continue to do,” Vuinovich told Izvestia newspaper.

She said that the WHO’s adoption of a resolution on the situation in Ukraine at the 75th edition of the World Health Assembly in May does not limit its collaboration with Moscow.

Elsewhere in her statements to the newspaper, Vuinovich noted that the process for the recognition of the Russian Covid-19 vaccine Sputnik V did not stop and WHO continues to negotiate with the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF).

She recalled that by late October 2021, the RDIF signed all the legal documents necessary to complete the process to recognize the vaccine through the Emergency Use Listing Procedure (EUL) system, medicines recommended by WHO for emergency use.

Registered in Russia on August 11, 2020, Sputnik V was the world’s first officially recognized vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
