The 79th World Health Assembly is underway, and it is being overshadowed by the Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Hantavirus infection on board a cruise ship.
On the agenda, too, lack of preparedness for a pandemic and funding cuts following the withdrawal from the World Health Organisation by the United States and Argentina.
Over the weekend the WHO declared an international public health emergency – with at least 100 now reported dead in the Ebola outbreak.
