Ref.: C.L.44.21
The World Health Organization (WHO) presents its compliments to Member States and
has the honour to inform them of progress being made with regard to decision
WHA73(11) (2020) concerning the Global strategy and plan of action on public health,
innovation and intellectual property (GSPA-PHI). The decision urged Member States to
reinforce the implementation, as appropriate and taking into account national contexts, of the
recommendations of the review panel that are addressed to Member States and consistent with
the GSPA-PHI.
WHO would also like to recall decision WHA71(9) (2018) that requested the
Director-General to implement the recommendations addressed to the Secretariat as prioritized
by the review panel, in an implementation plan, consistent with the GSPA-PHI.
In order to monitor progress in the implementation of the recommendations of the review
panel that are addressed to Member States, a second online survey will be conducted. This
survey is a follow-up to a baseline survey conducted in 2020 through a questionnaire structured
around the eight elements of the GSPA-PHI. As per previous practice, the responses to the
questionnaire will be compiled in aggregate form and analyzed by the Secretariat for inclusion in
the 2022 progress report.
To ensure the most accurate data, Member States are invited to nominate a focal point to
coordinate the collection and reporting of the Government’s intersectoral (from all relevant
government authorities relating to public health, innovation, and intellectual property) response
to the questionnaire. The name of the nominated focal point should be sent by email to:
[email protected] by 31 January 2022. The link to the questionnaire, and a unique token code, will
then be sent directly to the nominated focal point. The deadline for submitting completed online
questionnaires is 31 March 2022. Enquiries regarding this process can be addressed by email to
the afore mentioned email address.
The World Health Organization takes this opportunity to renew to Member States the
assurance of its highest consideration.
