The head of the World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus’s urged countries across the world to prepare for the next pandemic.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that future health emergencies could be even worse than the COVID-19 pandemic.
WHO directoer-general’s warning comes weeks after the group officially ended the COVID global health emergency.
During a meeting of the World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland, Tedros said COVID is still a threat — but not the only one we may have to confront.
The threat of another variant emerging that causes new surges of disease and death remains, and the threat of another pathogen emerging with even deadlier potential remains,” he said.
