The 68th World Health Assembly closed Tuesday with a number of decisions under its belt. Member states approved a global technical strategy for malaria, for one, and a global action plan to combat antimicrobial resistance was adopted as well.
But there was no doubt that Ebola took center stage at the just-concluded annual event.
It was the subject of the World Health Organization director-general’s opening speech, a session was dedicated to lessons learned from the crisis, and it was the foundation for which member states decided on the fate of the multiple proposals laid out before them over the past week.
