The World Health Organization on Wednesday urged Asian countries to prepare for a surge in H1N1 flu cases as the northern hemisphere winter approaches.
"A winter surge is a real possibility in the Southeast Asia reginn," WHO director for Southeast Asia, Samlee Plianbangchang, said in Kathmandu, where health ministers from 11 countries in the region are meeting. At least 2,837 people around the world have died from H1N1 flu virus since it emerged in April, according to the latest WHO figures. - AFP
