ZURICH (Reuters) - Avowed multilateralists Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Helen Clark will lead a World Health Organization (WHO) panel scrutinising the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic just as international institutions are under fire.

The work by Johnson Sirleaf, Liberia's former president and Clark, New Zealand's ex-prime minister, will come into the harsh spotlight trained on the WHO by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has accused the agency of being in China's pocket while letting the pandemic spiral out of control.
