UN HEALTH CHIEF URGES GLOBAL COOPERATION TO TACKLE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS
THREATNew York, May 28 2013 2:00PMThe head of the United Nations
health agency has sounded the alarm over novel coronavirus, and
stressed the need for countries to work together to adequately address
the threat posed by the rare illness.

"The novel coronavirus is not a problem that any single affected
country can keep to itself or manage all by itself. The novel
coronavirus is a threat to the entire world,"
<"http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2013/world_health_assembly_20130527/en/index.html">said
Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization
(WHO).

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that includes viruses that
may cause a range of illnesses in humans, from the common cold to
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), according to WHO. Viruses of
this family also cause a number of animal diseases.

Novel coronavirus is a particular strain of coronavirus that has not
been previously identified in humans. "There is very limited
information on transmission, severity and clinical impact with only a
small number of cases reported thus far," WHO states on its website.

In her <"http://www.who.int/dg/speeches/2013/world_health_assembly_20130527/en/index.html">closing
remarks at the 66th World Health Assembly in Geneva yesterday, Dr.
Chan said the new virus is her "greatest concern" right now.

"We understand too little about this virus when viewed against the
magnitude of its potential threat," she stated. "Any new disease that
is emerging faster than our understanding is never under control.

"We do not know where the virus hides in nature. We do not know how
people are getting infected. Until we answer these question, we are
empty-handed when it comes to prevention. These are alarm bells. And
we must respond."

According to media reports, out of 44 confirmed cases of novel
coronavirus around the world, 23 people have now died – with most
infections linked to travel to the Middle East. The virus causes
pneumonia and, sometimes, organ failure. Most patients have had other
health problems.

Dr. Chan stressed the need to bring together the assets of the entire
world in order to adequately address this new threat. "We need more
information, and we need it quickly, urgently."

She announced that joint WHO missions with Saudi Arabia and Tunisia
will take place as soon as possible with the aim of gathering all the
facts needed to conduct a proper risk assessment.

In addition to novel coronavirus, the World Health Assembly, which met
from 20 to 27 May, also discussed a number of public health issues
such as blindness, disability, mental health, neglected tropical
diseases, the anti-poverty targets known as the Millennium Development
Goals and the UN Commission on Life-Saving Commodities for Women and
Children. It adopted a number of resolutions on these issues.May 28
