The COVID-19 pandemic could be the catalyst for much-needed reform of the World Health Organization (WHO) just as the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 forced urgent changes at the U.N. nuclear agency, a co-chair of an independent review panel said on Tuesday.

The panel's report said that Chinese officials should have applied public health measures more forcefully in January 2020 to curb the initial COVID-19 outbreak and criticized the WHO for not declaring an international emergency until Jan. 30.

"We are not here to assign blame, but to make concrete recommendations to help the world respond faster and better in future," the panel's co-chair, former Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, told reporters at a briefing on Tuesday.
