GENEVA, Switzerland (AFP) â The deadly hantavirus and Ebola outbreaks are only the latest crises in âdangerous and divisiveâ times, the World Health Organization (WHO) chief said Monday.
Opening the bodyâs annual decision-making assembly in Geneva, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke of the new Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which he declared an international health emergency over the weekend, and the rare hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship.
The two âare just the latest crises in our troubled worldâ, he told the gathering of health ministers and high level delegates from around the world.
