In April 2020 India co-sponsored a UN General Assembly resolution for fair, equitable, and timely access to equipment and medication, and any future COVID-19 vaccines to all nations. As the “pharmacy of the world”, India played a critical role in the roll out of the COVID vaccine, both in India and around the world.
