COVID-19

On 21 February 2020, Dr David Nabarro, Co-Director of the Imperial College Institute of Global Health Innovation at the Imperial College London and Strategic Director of 4SD, was appointed as one of six Special Envoys to the World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General on COVID-19. In this role, David provides strategic advice and high-level political advocacy and engagement in different parts of the world to help WHO coordinate the global response to the pandemic.

The Open Online Briefings with Dr David Nabarro offer an update on what he sees happening around the world from an interdisciplinary and people-focused perspective followed by interactive discussion with participants. His updates are based on the analyses and guidance provided by the World Health Organization and anyone is welcome to attend.

The COVID-19 Narratives are being written by David and peers to share with those who want more information about the situation and to help raise the awareness and readiness of all actors. The COVID-19 Narratives are further complemented by Reflections and Spotlight articles written by others in the 4SD Network and participants of the Open Online Briefings.

This series of video clips encourages all leaders – global, national and local – to act in solidarity as the world learns how to live with and mitigate the impact of COVID-19 outbreaks. The video clips are complimented by songs written and performed by Gambian artist Nazeem with support from Vicki Doyle and partners.
