This collection comprises unparalleled analyses of 28 high, middle and low-income country responses to covid-19 and draws on the work and analysis of the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response.

(H. Legido-Quigley, A.S. Jung, V. Haldane et. al; 29 Nov. 2021) The Lancet: How an Outbreak Became a Pandemic – a chronological analysis of crucial junctures and international obligations in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic . This paper includes a meticulous analysis of the Independent Panel’s authoritative chronology (see also multimedia version ), and helps to pinpoint where the International Health Regulations’ obligations are not precise enough, or fail to encourage countries and decision makers to more proactively respond to outbreaks with pandemic potential. The analysis shows that a reset of the global health and health security system as a whole is required, including specific reforms to the International Health Regulations, and agreement on a new international legal instrument, such as a pandemic treaty. (S. Singh, A. Phelan et al.; 8 Nov. 2021) Nature Medicine : Health systems resilience in managing the COVID-19 pandemic: lessons from 28 countries . Through a combination of literature review, national government submissions and interviews with experts, the authors conducted a comparative analysis of national responses. They report on domains addressing governance and financing, health workforce, medical products and technologies, public health functions, health service delivery and community engagement to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The authors then synthesize four salient elements that underlie highly effective national responses and offer recommendations toward strengthening health systems resilience globally. (V. Haldane, H. Legido-Quigley, et. al.; 17 May 2021.)
