According to sources in the French government, a week or so before he died
JW Lee ordered for the EDM department in WHO to open an office devoted to
assisting countries in putting the TRIPS flexibilities to use.

Even more surprisingly, the interim DG is reported to have taken up and
furthered this plan, rather than leave it to the next DG.
