The 75th World Health Assembly opened in Geneva, Switzerland on the 22nd. This is the first time that the World Health Assembly has been held offline since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic in more than two years. In addition to the new crown epidemic, the conference will focus on how to advance public health and wellness in the context of increasing global conflict, and strengthen the World Health Organization’s preparedness and response to health emergencies.
Although the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported to WHO by various countries has dropped significantly compared with the peak of the infection of the Omicron strain in January this year, and the number of deaths has also dropped to the lowest level since March 2020, the WHO’s total number of confirmed cases has dropped significantly. In his opening remarks, Director Tedros repeatedly emphasized that the new crown epidemic “will not end anywhere unless it has ended everywhere”.
