AIDS Healthcare Foundation: Independent Panel Report Lets WHO off the Hook, Says AHF The Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response (IPPPR) issued a report earlier this week with recommendations on improving global pandemic preparedness. AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), the world's largest provider of HIV/AIDS care globally, has characterized the report as a restatement of previous well-reasoned but unimplemented attempts at global public health reforms. These most recent suggestions leave the World Health Organization (WHO) to carry on a central role in future pandemic responses despite criticizing its poor performance during COVID-19. Certain aspects of the IPPPR report are consistent with another recently published study by 21 leading public health thinkers in The Lancet Public Health "A global public health convention for the 21st century." However, the latter describes the failures of the current global public health system, recommends radical changes at the World Health Assembly (WHA) that go beyond the WHO, and calls for a new global public health architecture.
