Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework (PIP)

The Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework (PIP) is an international agreement aimed at ensuring fair and equitable sharing of flu viruses with pandemic potential and the benefits from their use. It helps countries collaborate by exchanging virus samples and data, enabling rapid development of vaccines and treatments in case of a global flu outbreak. PIP promotes transparency, fairness, and cooperation among nations, so that no one is disadvantaged during a pandemic. It also supports building capacity in poorer countries for responding effectively, ultimately reducing the impact of a flu pandemic worldwide.
