"An Intra-Action Review uses a whole-of-society, multi-sectoral approach, acknowledging the contributions of all relevant stakeholders involved in #COVID19 preparedness and response at the national and sub-national levels"-@DrTedros

"By reviewing and adapting the current preparedness and response strategies and identifying what is working well and what needs to be strengthened, the review gives countries the opportunity to change the trajectory of the #COVID19 pandemic"-@DrTedros

"Intra-Action Reviews not only help countries improve their #COVID19 response but also contribute towards their long-term health security. To date, 21 countries have completed them and others are in pipeline"-@DrTedros
