“Today we’re launching a strategic preparedness and response plan.... We’re requesting US$675 million to fund the plan for the next three months,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a news conference in Geneva.
Tedros said US$60 million of the funds would be for WHO operations while the remainder would go to countries requiring assistance to guard against the deadly virus. Tedros also hailed a US$100 million donation from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced earlier on Wednesday for virus testing, treatment and vaccine research.
