Health Ministers Meet in
Ottawa to Chart Global Bird Flu Response
Health ministers from around the world convene in Ottawa later for a two-day
meeting to coordinate a global response to the potentially deadly bird flu
virus. The meeting is the first international gathering to
confront the issue.
The conference brings together health ministers and senior officials from 29
countries and the heads of key international agencies.
Canadian health officials say it will contribute to various international
initiatives under way to reduce the bird flu risk, like the World Health
Organization's strategic plan for pandemic preparedness and the U.S.
international partnership on avian and pandemic influenza.
