In the aftermath of the ravaging Ebola Virus in some African countries, the World Health Organisation, WHO, says it would set up a $100 Million contingency fund to tackle healthcare emergencies mostly in the developing world.


The WHO Director General, Dr, Margaret Chan, made this known while declaring open the 68th World Health Assembly earlier this week.

She made a public vow that never will the agency and the world be taken by surprise again as witnessed with the outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), cholera, meningitis and other diseases.

Dr Chan also made it known that the $100 Million contingency fund would be financed by flexible voluntary contributions, to ensure there are necessary resources available to immediately mount an initial response to any disease outbreak.
