Infectious diseases spread faster, than ever on the planet and threat of global epidemics becomes more and more real. Such information was published in the annual report of the World Health Organization (WHO).
According to WHO’s information, since 1970th 39 new diseases have appeared in the world and for the last five years more than 1100 eruptions has been registered, including cholera, poliomyelitis and avian flu.
Experts also mark that the probability of new pandemia development and distribution increases because of the global passenger air passenger traffic: annually about 2,1 billion person make flights.
“It would be extremely naive and precipitate to believe that there will be no more diseases similar to AIDS or SARS”, - is spoken in the report. Therefore WHO calls all countries of the world for cooperation in struggle against epidemics.
World Health Organization urgently asks not conceal the information on outbreak of diseases, and also to exchange the data on new viruses and means of struggle against them. Otherwise, new pandemia can become threat not only for people lives, but also for economic and political stability.
