00:00Recently, just a handful of countries have provided large amounts of funding.
00:05It would be better for us to spread the responsibility across many more shoulders.
00:12Every contribution counts, no matter how small.
00:15Germany too supports sustainable financing for WHO.
00:20And so I am pleased to be able to share with you today that Germany will be providing the
00:25World Health Organization with a total of at least 360 million Euro for the next general
00:31program as well.
00:35We need the WHO to make sure that our risk of pandemic is kept very, very low because
00:40we saw what the cost of a pandemic was.
00:45The things WHO does, no country can do on its own.
00:52Together, WHO and these organizations provide a comprehensive approach to global health.
00:58Alongside partners like the World Bank's International Development Association, they
01:04are responsible for the unprecedented progress.
