GENEVA (AN) — The World Health Organization's director-general closed out its weeklong high-level assembly on Monday with a warning against complacency and an appeal to support a global pandemic treaty that could help prevent another such deadly outbreak.
"The reality is, we still have a lot of work to do to end this pandemic," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a public health expert and former head of Ethiopia’s foreign affairs and health ministries, told the 194-nation World Health Assembly, which met by teleconference. "We’re very encouraged that cases and deaths are continuing to decline globally, but it would be a monumental error for any country to think the danger has passed."
