Global Health: The world is still in a "fragile situation" and the Corona variants may return the confrontation to zero

The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, renewed his warnings that the world will not be safe from the threat of Corona and whatever the level of vaccination in any country before controlling the virus everywhere until the last country.

"The countries of the world have reached the number of deaths that occurred due to the virus in the past year, but it happened in the last two weeks only," Ghebreyesus said.

Ghebreyesus warned, in a speech that opened the work of the World Health Assembly at its seventy-fourth session hypothetically, that the changes that occur to the virus, known as mutations, may return the confrontation to zero.

He said that the Kovacs facility established by the organization to deliver vaccines to low and middle income countries ... does not have enough vaccines, and Dr. Tedros called on countries that have enough vaccines to share them with the international facility.

He called for support for the vaccination initiative presented before the World Health Assembly to achieve its goal of vaccinating up to 10% of the world's population by next September and 30% by the end of the year.

He also urged countries to support the initiative of India and South Africa in the World Trade Organization, which calls for a waiver of intellectual property rights in order to allow the manufacture and production of vaccines in the largest possible number of countries.

He stressed that the world is still in a fragile situation in front of Corona.
