World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on September 18 that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the lack of preparedness for a major health crisis. Addressing the regular media briefing, the WHO chief highlighted the “recurring pattern” of funds announced at the peak of virus outbreaks but those funds don’t remain available to prevent future outbreaks.
“Reviews and reports are only as good as the recommendations that are implemented. COVID-19 has shown that collectively, the world was woefully underprepared,” said Dr Ghebreyesus.
