The second edition of the joint WHO, WIPO and WTO
publication “Promoting Access to Medical Technologies
and Innovation: Intersections between public health,
intellectual property and trade” (the Trilateral Study),*
published in 2020, included a special insert mappi...ng the
challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in relation
to the integrated health, trade and IP policy framework set
out in the study. The Trilateral Study and the special insert
were designed to serve as background reference for policy-
makers in the widest sense – lawmakers, government
officials, delegates to international organizations, non-
governmental organizations (NGOs) and researchers
who seek a comprehensive presentation of the full range
of issues, including institutions and legal concepts with
which they may be unfamiliar. It is also designed to serve
as a factual resource for the three organizations’ technical
cooperation activities.
This update revises the information contained in that
insert in the light of more recent developments as of
30 August 2021. Further updates will be made to reflect
subsequent developments.

Дети имеют право на образование. Там, где школы не открываются вновь, все дети должны
иметь доступ к обучению альтернативными способами. По мере развития пандемии C...OVID-19
страны начинают ослаблять ограничения, и ЮНИСЕФ призвал открыть школы снова. Когда
школы снова откроются, нам необходимо рассмотреть не только меры по обеспечению
безопасности учащихся в помещении школы, но и по дороге в школу. Эти меры не только
могут помочь обеспечить безопасность учащихся во время пандемии коронавируса
(COVID-19), но и может также помочь в решении других проблем безопасности, таких как
дорожно-транспортные происшествия, которые являются убийцами номер один среди
молодых людей в возрасте 5-29 лет.

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on the use of pooled sample testing strategy in coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
testing laboratories of the African Union Member States for scaling up SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid testing capacity with the available resources. The current document descr...ibes the effect of factors such as the prevalence of COVID-19 in the population to be tested, the homogeneity of pools, and the sensitivity of the molecular test in optimal pool size determination. It also highlights the importance of monitoring the prevalence of COVID-19 in a population to be tested and proper validation of the test, to limit the potential for false-negative results. Validation studies to determine the optimal pool size by testing laboratories are recommended as the optimum approach. A safe, simple ‘two-stage pooling’ option has been indicated in this guidance to be used by laboratories until such validation can be achieved.
