A global coalition of lawmakers is calling on the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) to allow Taiwan to participate in the upcoming World Health Assembly (WHA) and the health body’s meetings and activities. The assembly is the WHO’s decision-making body.

“The international community needs the world-leading expertise Taiwan has developed to control the virus,” the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) said in a Nov. 2 statement.
