WHO Press Conference
Press Conference Announcement
In response to lessons learned from the Ebola outbreak, WHO has developed a registry of accredited Foreign Medical Teams (FMTs) – a roster of pre-verified medical teams from around the world ready to deploy at moment’s notice for emergency response. During the Ebola outbreak, WHO has coordinated the deployment of nearly 60 foreign medical teams provided by 40 organizations. In emergency response to the Vanuatu cyclone, WHO has deployed 20 FMTs through this registry
