‘We're on verge of defeating Covid pandemic’: Harsh Vardhan at WHO meet
Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan said the world is on verge of defeating the coronavirus pandemic.
While speaking at the 148th session of WHO Executive Board (virtual) meeting, he said, “I thank member nations that despite the wide disparity in their epidemiological trends, we're on verge of defeating pandemic by adopting preemptive, proactive and collaborative strategies,” said the Union Health Minister.
Harsh Vardhan's statement comes as the worldwide tally of Covid-19 cases surpassed the 100 million mark on Wednesday, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.
The United States continues to be the worst affected country with 25,407,414 cases.
On his first day back in office, President Donald Trump initiated the process of withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing financial disparities and national priorities.

Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s Sanaa airport and key military sites have resulted in at least six deaths and 40 injuries. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was at the airport during the attack. The Israeli military targeted Houthi-controlled infrastructure, and the situation has drawn international concern. Iran condemned the strikes, and the UN called for de-escalation. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have been involved in attacks against Israel since 2023.
