Dhaka, April 8 -- World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has warned that another pandemic is inevitable, describing it not as a "theoretical risk" but an "epidemiological certainty."

Addressing the resumed 13th Meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body on the WHO Pandemic Agreement, Ghebreyesus reflected on the severe global impact of COVID-19 and stressed the urgency of preparedness, reports TASS.
