Developing countries looking for an answer
This is a report from Voice of America; it is almost a month old, but as far as I know not much of has reached the press. It says that representatives of developing countries attended a world summit on and human influenza and said they were taking measures to combat bird flu to prevent the disease from spreading to humans. Hundreds of animal and health experts were working on a plan of action to prevent a human influenza pandemic at World Health Organization headquarters in Geneva.
It seems that developing countries affected by the Avia Infulenza - like Vietnam - and those which are not directly threatened yet take the problem seriously, but they noted that have very little money to do the job properly.They say they expect a financial commitment from richer countries to help the poorer nations carry out programs essential for protecting animal and human health.
