Singapore has been a partner of CEPI since 2020, supporting its efforts to accelerate the development of vaccines and other biologic countermeasures against epidemic and pandemic threats. The country's latest pledge, for the period 2027 to 2030, is made at a side event of the 79th World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva, Switzerland, by Minister for Health Ong Ye Kung.
