Transforming the global health architecture to prepare for future pandemic threats

How do you communicate urgent health recommendations at a local, national, and global level? This was the challenge of The Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response (The Panel). This report covered everything from late 2019 to the end of 2020. The task was large and highly-anticipated.

The major task was to design a main publication with accompanying supplementary reports and social media assets for The Panel. The report, its findings, and its recommendations were presented at a global launch on May 12, 2021 to the World Health Assembly and the world at large. 

The Panel’s recommendations would guide the ways in which the world responded to COVID-19 and transform the global health architecture to prepare for future pandemic threats. It was necessary to present the recommendations separately, clearly, and concisely from the report to political leaders, policy makers, public health specialists, academics, the media, and the interested public.

Our final solution balanced the importance of the research and analysis with engagement and approachability. The Client believed our final designs accurately portrayed the seriousness of the report’s content. We communicated important topics simply and clearly.
