WHO chief arrives in earthquake-hit Syria with medical aid

Tedros told Syrian TV upon arrival in Aleppo that the WHO team he travelled with brought 35 tons of medical equipment.

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus arrived in Syria's northern city of Aleppo on Saturday.
Rescue efforts were continuing in Syria and neighbouring Turkey after a 7.8 magnitude earthquake on Monday collapsed hundreds of buildings and killed tens of thousands of people.
During his visit, Tedros will tour the city and meet patients in hospitals as well as displaced people in shelters, state media reported.
Tedros told Syrian TV upon arrival in Aleppo that the WHO team he travelled with brought 35 tons of medical equipment.
He added that another plane carrying 30 tons of medical equipment would arrive in the coming days.

An article in the New York Times titled “India is Stalling WHO’s Efforts to Make Global Covid Death Toll Public” sent ripples across the country. On Sunday, India questioned the World Health Organisation’s methodology used to estimate the Covid mortalities in the country. India said that one size fit all approach and models which are true for smaller countries like Tunisia may not be applicable to India with a population of 1.3 billion. The article in New York Times pegs India’s declared number of Covid deaths to be much higher than the government data. According to the WHO’s estimate, the number of Covid fatalities stands at 40 million, up from the official estimate of approximately 5 lakh deaths. India's basic objection has not been with the result, but the methodology adopted, the union health ministry said in a statement. India has shared its concerns with the methodology along with other member states through a series of formal communications, including six letters issued to WHO and virtual meetings.

The World Health Organisation chief has said that 90 million cases of coronavirus have been reported since the omicron variant was first identified 10 weeks ago — amounting to more than in all of 2020, the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic.
With many countries easing their restrictive measures amid public fatigue about them, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanon Ghebreyeus cautioned that omicron should not be underestimated even though it has shown to bring less severe illness than earlier variants — and cited "a very worrying increase in deaths in most regions of the world”.
He said the United Nations body is concerned that a narrative has taken hold in some countries that because of vaccines — and because of omicron's high transmissibility and lower severity — preventing transmission is no longer possible and no longer necessary.
Dr Terdos said nothing could be further from the truth.
Noting that it is premature premature for any country either to surrender or to declare victory, he said this virus is dangerous and it continues to evolve before our very eyes.
WHO said four of its six regions worldwide are seeing increasing trends in deaths.
Many European countries have begun easing lockdown measures, including Britain, France, Ireland and the Netherlands. Finland will end its COVID-19 restrictions this month.

The chief of the World Health Organisation on Thursday called on manufacturers of vaccines that already have WHO Emergency Use Listing to prioritise COVAX, not shareholder profit.
WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the remarks a day after the WHO granted emergency use approval for Bharat Biotech's COVID-19 vaccine Covaxin.
"Yesterday we added another new tool, with the Emergency Use Listing of Covaxin, the 8th vaccine to receive WHO validation for safety, efficacy and quality," he said at a media briefing on COVID-19.
The announcement by the WHO came after the Technical Advisory Group (TAG), an independent advisory committee of the world body recommended Emergency Use Listing(EUL) status for Covaxin, and days after the TAG sought "additional clarifications" from Bharat Biotech on October 26 to conduct a final "risk-benefit assessment" of the vaccine for global use.
Emergency Use Listing contributes to vaccine equity, by enabling countries to expedite their own regulatory approval to import and roll out vaccines, he said.
"We continue to call on manufacturers of vaccines that already have WHO Emergency Use Listing to prioritize COVAX, not shareholder profit," Tedros said.
"We encourage all vaccine manufacturers who have not yet received Emergency Use Listing to contact WHO to discuss how to accelerate the process through rolling submissions," he said.
COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access, abbreviated as COVAX, is a worldwide initiative aimed at equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines directed by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, and the WHO.

The World Health Organization implored wealthy countries on Wednesday to forgo Covid-19 vaccine booster shots for the rest of the year to ensure that poorer countries have more access to the vaccine.&nbsp;
Addressing a media briefing, the WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus&nbsp;called for an "extension of the moratorium" on booster doses for at least until the end of the year so that every country vaccinates at least 40 per cent of its population.&nbsp;
Tedros had previously called for a &ldquo;moratorium&rdquo; on booster shots through the end of September. But rich countries &ndash; including Israel, the United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Germany, Spain and the United States &ndash; have begun or are considering plans to offer third shots of two-dose vaccines to their vulnerable people/

Chief Scientist of the World Health Organisation Dr Soumya Swaminathan&nbsp;has said that&nbsp;Covid-19&nbsp;in India may be entering some kind of stage of endemicity where there is low or moderate level of transmission going on.In an interview to journalist Karan Thapar for news website The Wire, Swaminathan said given the size of India and heterogeneity of population and immunity status in different parts of the country, it is &ldquo;very very feasible&rdquo; that the situation may continue like this with ups and downs in various parts of the nation.The endemic stage is when a population learns to live with a virus. It&rsquo;s very different from the epidemic stage when the virus overwhelms a population.

World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned on Saturday that the world is in a very 'dangerous period' of the&nbsp;Covid-19&nbsp;pandemic&nbsp;compounded by more transmissible variants like Delta, which is continuing to evolve and mutate.He said that nations with low vaccine coverage are once again seeing hospitals being overburdened.Noting that the Delta variant has been detected in at least 98 countries and is spreading quickly in countries with low and high vaccination coverage, he said there are essentially two ways for countries to push back against new surges.He said public health and social measures like strong surveillance, strategic testing, early case detection, isolation and clinical care remain critical.The WHO chief said masking, physical distance, avoiding crowded places and keeping indoor areas well ventilated are the basis for the response.
