September 30, 2009

Health experts from 13 West African countries on Tuesday convened in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, for the start of a three-day meeting aimed at strengthening integrated disease surveillance, PANA/Afrique en ligne reports. "The experts' meeting is preparatory to that of Ministers on Friday, which is expected to come out with guidelines in response to incessant disease outbreaks in the sub-region such as the deadly epidemics of cholera, meningitis, measles, viral hemorrhagic fevers between 1995 and 1996 as well as a recrudescent polio and the spreading A H1N1 flu pandemic," the news service writes (9/29).
