The primary responsibility is to ensure that health
receives an adequate proportion of external aid, and that this is
channelled through the sector coordination mechanisms. In addition,
indistrialized governments commit to:
- Ensuring that their international policies relevant
to health, and especially immunization, emphasize the needs of
the worlds poorest people;
- Ensuring that health is given adequate priority,
not only as an international public good, but in the context of
poverty-reduction policies;
- Ensuring that global health challenges, including
the need for wider access to immunization, receive priority in
their national health research institutions;
- Facilitating the participation of those national
institutions in international efforts;
- Supporting the strengthening of immunization services
through broad sectoral approaches
