Building local technology for future crises

THE World Health Organisation (WHO) has just declared Covid-19 as the world’s public enemy number one. Those who have been following the reports on Covid-19, which are splashed daily across the world media, would appreciate why. I guess WHO is sending a stern warning to leaders of the world to take the pandemic seriously and failure to do so would spell misfortune for all.

It is unfortunate that some world leaders are not in sync with WHO, and there are ill-advised leaders out there who have even advocated shutting down the organisation!
