The commission pointed the finger at the World Health Organization, governments and even members of the public. The many pandemic failures, according to the report, include the lack of timely notification about the initial outbreak, delays in acknowledging the virus was airborne and implementing measures that could have slowed its spread, the lack of coordination among countries and the shortfall of global funding to help low- and middle-income countries deal with the virus.
“The 2019 assessment failed to predict the poor quality of the public policy response to the pandemic in the European region and the region of the Americas, and the much higher quality of response in the Western Pacific region,” the report said. The report lists a series of recommendations. They include bolstering the role the WHO plays in preventing and responding to pandemics, creating a new WHO Global Health Board comprised of heads of state in the organization’s six designated regions, substantially increased the WHO’s budget and strengthening public health systems globally.
