AstraZeneca CEO, Pascal Soriot kicks off the #TortoiseG7bnSummit as we ask: who decides who gets the vaccine? The virus has also exposed the health inequalities in our societies; Covid-19 has not been a great leveller. How can we reshape public health systems so that they serve everyone?

The Tortoise G7bn Summit:
There’s a failure of global leadership. Not just of coordination, but organisation. The UN and EU are stumbling and key countries – Russia, China and the US – reject cooperation except on their own terms. There’s a need to convene the people who are thinking about global problems: how to make a concerted effort to deal with vaccines and travel restrictions; how to restart economies and supply chains; the future of money and fair dealing online.
