A panel of independent experts who reviewed the World Health Organisation s response to the coronavirus pandemic says the UN health agency should be granted guaranteed rights of access in countries to investigate emerging outbreaks, a contentious idea that would give it more powers and require member states to give up some of theirs.
In a report released on Wednesday, the panel faulted countries worldwide for their sluggish response to COVID-19, saying most waited to see how the virus was spreading until it was too late to contain it, leading to catastrophic results.
The group also slammed the lack of global leadership and restrictive international health laws that hindered WHO s response to the pandemic.
