KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia wants the World Health Organisation to come up with better and clearer classifications to differentiate countries with local transmission of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) from those with “imported cases.”
“We urge WHO to refine their classification system so that we may not have a situation where countries with just one case of local transmission (of the disease) will be added to the list of SARS-affected countries,” Health Minister Datuk Chua Jui Meng said.
