WHO To Create Plan For Improved Epidemic Response Time.

reports that the World Health Organization (WHO) on Friday indicated that it will be creating a new and improved plan to respond to epidemics following criticism of the slow pace of intervention in the Ebola crisis. As part of this plan, WHO will be seeking to reduce recognition and response times, according to WHO Director-General Margaret Chan. The plan will likely extend to Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and H5N1. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/31/health-ebola-who-idUSL5N10B3XQ20150731
