Abstract
Research and innovation is key to the human population. Discovery of new methods and creation of new technologies is crucial for human development. Lack of research and innovation has impacts on human development. The onset of COVID-19 revealed just how much LMIC are disadvantaged systematically, and the lack of technological capacity to design and acquire vaccines. The gap in vaccine access was so enormous that it left questions on equitable access and universal health coverage. There is no sustainable health if there are still communities that have no access to healthcare, if there are still neglected diseases, if there are still vaccine inequities, if there are health inequalities and systematic exclusion of the most vulnerable and affected populations in decision making for their health and wellbeing.
