The Independent Panel Secretariat has therefore requested that WHO reach out to you, to inform you that all interested stakeholders are invited to sign up for email news and updates through the form on www.TheIndependentPanel.org. As a reminder, the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response was initiated by the WHO Director-General at the request of the 73rd World Health Assembly, which requested the Director-General: …to initiate, at the earliest appropriate moment, and in consultation with Member States, a stepwise process of impartial, independent and comprehensive evaluation, including using existing mechanisms, as appropriate, to review experience gained and lessons learned from the WHO-coordinated international health response to COVID-19 – including (i) the effectiveness of the mechanisms at WHO’s disposal; (ii) the functioning of the International Health Regulations (2005) and the status of implementation of the relevant recommendations of previous IHR Review Committees; (iii) WHO’s contribution to United Nations-wide efforts; and (iv) the actions of WHO and their timelines pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic – and to make recommendations to improve capacity for global pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response, including through strengthening, as appropriate, the WHO Health Emergencies Programme. The Independent Panel is Co-Chaired by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former President of Liberia and Nobel Laureate, and the Rt. Hon Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand. The Co-Chairs have announced panelists, and the Panel has now begun its work. The Panel expects to send regular updates through its email list including after every Independent Panel meeting. Those who sign up for updates can of course unsubscribe any time.
