Source: World Health Organization (WHO). Published: 5/2020. This 11-page report examines the performance of the World Health Organization Emergencies (WHE) Programme during the first few months of the COVID-19 outbreak. It is a compilation of observations of how the structures and processes established by WHO, through the WHE Programme and related mechanisms, functioned from January to April 2020. It discusses how there has been a palpable lack of global solidarity and common purpose, which is a recipe for extending and worsening the global outbreak, leaving all countries less secure. (PDF)
