WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus accepted the committee’s advice and stated that “WHO will continue to work in partnership across the world to drive science, solutions and solidarity.”

The committee appreciated WHO’s leadership and activities throughout the global response, that included its critical role in developing evidence-based guidance, providing countries with technical assistance and critical supplies and equipment, communicating clear information and addressing misinformation, and convening the Solidarity Trials and the Access to Covid-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, as per India Today.
