Clear, methodical approach needed for health emergencies, says Dr Noor Hisham

PETALING JAYA: Every nation needs to identify and map its response and healthcare networks to build a coherent strategy for handling health emergencies, says Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

“The Covid-19 pandemic (highlighted) the need to respond early and speedily, and to strengthen the coordinated global response,” he said after chairing the 3rd WHO Standing Committee on Health Emergency Prevention, Preparedness and Response (SCHEPPR) in Geneva on Wednesday (Sept 13).
