World Health Organization has confirmed that a clan of independent experts has been made in order to inspect the manner in which the H1N1 pandemic has been handled as a preventive measure.

The world faced the outbreak of H1N1 influenza, in April, the previous year. There were growing concerns as to whether the WHO and public health authorities have jointly overstated the risk by declaring it a 'pandemic' or is it supported by true facts.

There has always been conflicting interests among health officials, experts and vaccine makers. In the past, WHO has been condemned for its pandemic alert system which is based on the geographical spread rather on the harshness of the outbreak.

WHO flu expert Keiji Fukuda commented that the objective of the review is to assess how well the WHO had handled the swine flu outbreak, and whether the long term and short term ill effects of the flu were assessed. He further said, "The bottom line for doing this is to identify what we need to do to get better".

The date of the assessment has not been set so far but the agency which would carry on the assessment will be the United Nations agency's emergency committee and it will be conducted by 29 experts pooled out from the nominated names by the member states.
