In a world beset by complex problems, averting another pandemic is one challenge that can be solved. Why would leaders make any other choice?
Our original mandate
In September 2020, the Independent Panel began its mission to provide an evidence-based path to make COVID-19 the last Pandemic of such devastation.
The Panel, co-chaired by Her Excellency Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and the Right Honourable Helen Clark, presented their main report, Covid-19: Make it the Last Pandemic, to the 74th World Health Assembly in May 2021.
Our work today
Today, the Independent Panel continues to work for its vision of a world where leaders collaborate and invest to prevent pandemics and protect all people, everywhere.
The Co-Chairs, along with active members continue to champions reforms, provide independent, science-led analysis, and to build networks working across science, practice and policy.
“The recommendations of the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response must be a starting point for urgent reforms to strengthen the global health architecture.”
– UN Secretary General António Guterres, 21 September 2021
