World Health Organisation (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Wednesday issued a warning, saying the world must get ready for the next pandemic which might be even deadlier that Covid-19.
WHO chief Ghebreyesus바카라s warning comes at a time when Covid-19 cases are somewhat stabilising around the world.
"The end of Covid-19 as a global health emergency is not the end of Covid-19 as a global health threat,"Tedros said, as per report in NDTV.
"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,바카라 he said, as per the report.
The head of the WHO said this as he presented his report to the 76th World Health Assembly, it mentioned.
바카라Furthermore, in the face of overlapping and converging crises, 바카라pandemics are far from the only threat we face바카라,바카라 he said as per the report.
"When the next pandemic comes knocking-and it will-we must be ready to answer decisively, collectively, and equitably," he advised.
Tedros said Covid-19 had significant implications for health-related targets under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which have a deadline of 2030, it said.
"The pandemic has blown us off course, but it has shown us why the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) must remain our north star, and why we must pursue them with the same urgency and determination with which we countered the pandemic," he was quoted as having said.
