Global summit hopes to raise $8.2bn for coronavirus vaccine
Aim is to streamline and coordinate research and ensure poorer countries also benefit

It is hoped national research efforts will be streamlined so that vaccines are manufactured quickly for distribution to poorer countries, and not just for the benefit of the wealthy economies that produce them.
