<p>The UK has stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Pakistan throughout the pandemic. We
have already provided £17 million of UK aid to help Pakistan fight COVID-19. This
includes funding the World Health Organization (WHO) to build laboratory testing capacity
through training and provision of equipment across Pakistan.</p><p>The UK is also
supporting the equitable rollout of vaccines in Pakistan through COVAX, an international
alliance co-led by Gavi, CEPI and WHO. The UK has contributed £548m to COVAX's Advance
Market Commitment, which is helping to provide supply of 1 billion doses for up to
92 developing countries, including Pakistan, in 2021. The Prime Minister has confirmed
that the UK will share the majority of any future COVID-19 vaccines from our supply
that are surplus to domestic needs with COVAX.</p>
