The World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said that Covid-19 pandemic will end in 2022.

In his message the WHO Chief said, while no country is out of the woods from the pandemic, we have many new tools to prevent and treat COVID-19.

Highlighting that Covid-19 is not the only health threat the world’s people will face this year, Tedros said that millions of people have missed out on routine vaccination, services for family planning, treatment for communicable and non-communicable diseases.

He further stated that to help prepare the world for future epidemics and pandemics the WHO established BioHub System for countries to share novel biological materials.
