Conversation: WHO chief calls on international community to boost anti-pandemic measures NHK

A: Hey there! 🌞
B: Hi! What's up? 😃

A: Did you hear about the chat with Tedros, WHO's boss? 🤔
B: Nope, spill the beans! 🤯

A: He warned that another pandemic is coming. Not if, but when... Scary, huh? 😓
B: Whoa! We need to be ready then! What can we do? 🤔

A: Well, he said countries should work together more for future disease outbreaks through a treaty called the Pandemic Agreement. 🤔
B: So it's like an international pact against pandemics, right? 🤝

A: Exactly! He also mentioned that we all face the same enemy, no matter where we are. It doesn't care about maps or borders. 🌍
B: That's true. We should stick together like never before. 💪

A: Agreed! Unfortunately, he said some programs to fight diseases like HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis have been affected due to the US pulling out of the WHO. 😕
B: That's not good news. I hope they change their mind soon. 😔

A: Yeah, he said it's a loss for the world. But at the same time, he sees this as an opportunity to improve the WHO by finding new sources of funding and reducing staff. 💡
B: That sounds hopeful! I wonder what they'll do next... 🤔

A: Lastly, he mentioned something called "universal health coverage" or UHC. It means everyone should have access to quality healthcare without financial struggles. He thinks Japan can play a big role in making this happen globally. 🌐
B: Wow, that's a big responsibility! But I think we can do it if we work together! Let's stay safe and keep an eye on the news! 🙌
