WHO ‘unfit for health emergencies’
July 9, 2015 Health

The Ebola crisis proves the World Health Organization (WHO) lacks the capacity and culture to deal with global health emergencies, says a damning independent report, commissioned by the WHO itself.

The review panel says WHO was too slow to act to get on top of the deadly virus which has now killed more than 11,000 people in West Africa.

And it calls for an urgent overhaul of the organisation.

WHO says it has plans for reform.

It has already admitted that it waited too long to declare Ebola a public health emergency of international concern.
