WHO is bringing the world’s scientists and global health professionals together to accelerate the research and development process, and develop new norms and standards to contain the spread of the coronavirus pandemic and help care for those affected.
The R&D Blueprint has been activated to accelerate diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics for this novel coronavirus.
The solidarity of all countries will be essential to ensure equitable access to COVID-19 health products.
The WHO COVID-19 Research Database was a resource created in
response to the Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). It
contained citations with abstracts to scientific articles, reports, books,
preprints, and clinical trials on COVID-19 and related literature. The WHO
Covid-19 Research Database was maintained by the WHO Library & Digital
Information Networks and was funded by COVID-19 emergency funds. The
database was built by BIREME, the Specialized Center of PAHO/AMRO. Its content
spanned the time period March 2020 to June 2023. It has now been archived, and
no longer searchable since January 2024.
