GENEVA/ZURICH - The World Health Organization said on Thursday it was setting up an independent panel to review its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the response by governments worldwide.
Former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark and former Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf have agreed to head the panel, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. The co-chairs will select the other panel members, he said. The panel will then provide an interim report to an annual meeting of health ministers in November and present a"substantive report" next May.
In May, WHO's member states adopted unanimously a resolution proposed by the European Union calling for an evaluation of the global response to the pandemic.Johnson-Sirleaf, whose country was ravaged by West Africa's Ebola outbreak, the world's worst, in 2014-2016, said she looked forward"to doing all we can to respond" to the pandemic's challenges.
