At all times, including during #COVID19, @WHO operates in the open. In an imperfect world, we do the best we can to work for the health of all people. We encourage best practices while navigating between the positions expressed by different countries.

From the first moment @WHO learned about the outbreak, we've warned the world, convened experts, advised countries, communities & companies on how to protect themselves, shipped 330 million essential medical products to 179 countries...

... coordinated one of the world’s largest clinical trials, led an unprecedented global collaboration to ensure vaccines, therapeutics & diagnostics are shared equitably, & advocated to end the politicization of a pandemic...

...that requires not just science and solutions but, crucially, solidarity. We've never let up in our efforts to understand how the virus affects people & what the intermediate animal host(s) of the virus are.

We share information in press conferences & interviews, large & 1:1 meetings with Member States, via multiple social media platforms, in large scientific networks & R&D convenings, & independent advisory committees. We operate in the sunlight.
