For example, on day one of my arrival, I was able to attend the internal briefing given by Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General, on the H1N1 Pandemic. Since then, I have watched personnel work around the clock to understand this disease within the global public health context as well as, evaluate how the International Health Regulations apply in the “attainment of the highlights possible level of health” for mankind.

I deliberately refused to post on the subject due to the amount of noise that was created by Social Media on this matter; however now that news have focused towards Iran and the death of Michael Jackson, I would like you to create your own conclusion on the importance of the subject.

The following two pieces form the picture from Evidence Based Medicine to News to Death Ratio and may help you formulate the prioritization of healthcare delivery at the global level.

 

Nature H1N1 Review

 

Please let me know how you feel about its importance.
