“With SARS, we learned that only by working together can we control emerging global public health threats," said Dr. LEE Jong-wook, WHO Director-General “Now, we confront another threat to human health and we must reaffirm existing collaboration and form new ones. At the international level, WHO, FAO and OIE stand together in close working relationship to provide the necessary guidance to Member States.”
“This is a serious global threat to human health,” said Dr. Lee Jong-wook. “But we have faced several emerging infectious diseases in the past. This time, we face something we can possibly control before it reaches global proportions if we work cooperatively and share needed resources. We must begin this hard, costly work now.”
