The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stressed that the world must be prepared to respond to an outbreak of a disease “more deadly” than Corona.
In a speech delivered before the World Health Assembly in Geneva, Ghebreyesus warned that “the end of Covid-19 as a global health emergency does not mean that the global health threat has ended,” explaining that “the risk of the emergence of another variable that causes new waves of disease and death does not exist.” still stands.”
He also noted that “the threat of another disease arising with the possibility of it being more deadly is still possible.”
Tedros’s remarks came as the World Health Organization announced the launch of an international pathogen surveillance network, to help identify and respond to emerging disease threats using genomics.
