Last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted a 2-day pandemic simulation, convening 26 countries and territories, 600 health emergency experts, and more than 25 international partners.
The move represents a major deepening of WHO-directed global pandemic coordination and emergency control systems, further embedding multinational outbreak management, cross-border policy alignment, and centralized health governance structures.
According to a WHOpress release:
The World Health Organization (WHO) wrapped up Exercise Polaris II, a 2-day high-level simulation exercise, based around an outbreak of a fictional new bacterium spreading across the world. Bringing together 26 countries and territories, 600 health emergency experts and over 25 partners, the exercise, which took place on 22 and 23 April, allowed countries to test their preparedness for pandemics and other major health emergencies, including activating their emergency workforce structures, information flow and coordination with each other, partners and WHO.

The WHOconductedPolaris I in April 2025, which centered on a fictional virus.
But Polaris II “saw a larger number of countries participate and collaborate through new networks such as the recently launchedHealth Emergency Leaders Network for Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean.”
Both exercises were meant to enhance “coordination across the emergency workforce” by “simulating the spread of a dangerous pathogen under real-life conditions.”
The recent drill rehearsed coordinated multinational surge support and technical deployment from more than 25 global, regional, and national health agencies and emergency response networks.
