India fully geared, says WHO

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: The World Health Organisation on Thursday said India had a “tremendous capacity” to deal with the swine flu situation in the event of an outbreak.

Director of Communicable Diseases (WHO) Jai P. Narain told journalists that neither India nor any of the South East Asian countries had reported any case of swine flu. India had a tremendous capacity to handle any situation and it was in the forefront of preparedness as it was in dealing with SARS and Avian influenza.

While Mexico confirmed 26 human cases of infection, Canada reported 13 laboratory confirmed cases, Austria one, Germany and New Zealand three each, Israel two, Spain four and the United Kingdom five.

The WHO regional office had a stockpile of 3 million Tamiflu doses.
