Covering the health needs of more than six million flood-affected people in Pakistan
WHO and health partners provided enough medicines to cover the basic health needs of 6.7 million people during the Pakistan flood crisis in 2010.
WHO’s response focused on communicable disease control, provision of primary health care, and resumption of damaged and affected health facilities.
In October, WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan visited the country to review progress of health relief and recovery efforts.
