Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi, on Monday, declared the creation of a high advisory commission in charge of evaluating the process of the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.
This decision was adopted at a working session between different stakeholders of the scientific, administrative and health structures in charge of the battle against the coronavirus.
The work of the commission, which began its actions on Monday, will concentrate on the assessment of efforts in the fight against the coronavirus and the proper administration of this crisis as well as the coordination of the procurement of vaccines from foreign laboratories and the exploitation according to the prefixed priorities.
The committee will further be accountable for observing efforts to extend the capacity of hospitals and the availability of medical gear including respirators and resuscitation beds.
