...importance of global health cooperation more clear than moments like this week, as dozens of nations work together to curb the spread of a new and deadly infectious disease. Many might think that the swine flu outbreak may have prompted WHO's Director General to give Taiwan the green light to join its governing body, which meets once a year, but the invitation has been rumored for weeks in Taipei.
