Before lecturing on the Pandemic Treaty next week, I've been having a deep dive into Intellectual Property, COVID-19 and the Next Pandemic

Diagnosing Problems, Developing Cures

https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/intellectual-property-covid19-and-the-next-pandemic/C9DE9042D016A4BF9C1D4F09C2F70091 The editors have done a masterful job at capturing the mega-debate over access to essential medicines during the COVID-19 public health crisis. The work also really highlights a lack of preparation for the next pandemic. The same old problems could easily recur again in the future. The collection is also open access - which will make it a great resource for those working in the field.
