Fukuda said today in Geneva that the H1N1 influenza virus, which appeared in 2009, had spread around the world within a matter of weeks killing almost 13.000 people. Given this situation, he added that this is definitely a real influenza pandemic.

Fukuda said that WHO always welcomed constructive criticism which helps the organization improve its work. He added that the Council of Europe had recently invited WHO to participate in a hearing that it believes would will help address the facts about the pandemic and clarify some of the misconceptions." ........................................ ........................................ ....
