Press Conference Announcement
Estimates indicate that the 2015-2016 El Niño phenomenon will impact some 60 million people worldwide. We will present the new WHO El Niño and Health Global Overview, assessing a wide range of health impacts of El Niño. While the adverse climate effects of El Niño are expected to peak in January 2016 and wind down by April, the health consequences will last throughout 2016 and beyond.
