WHO sets up panel to review handling of pandemic

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared on Thursday that it was setting up an independent committee to evaluate its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and the response by governments.

Former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark and former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf have consented to head the panel and decided its members, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a virtual meeting with representatives of WHO’s 194 member states.

“This is a time for self-reflection,” Tedros stated, remarking that WHO’s member states in May asked unanimously for an evaluation of the global response to the pandemic.
