WHO distributes drug stockpile as swine flu cases rise
The World Health Organization said Thursday it has begun distributing a stockpile of antiviral drugs to a number of countries, as Mexico's top health official said the number of new cases of swine flu in the country is stabilizing.
Dr. Keiji Fukuda, WHO's acting assistant director-general for health security and environment, told reporters the drugs would be distributed to countries 'in most need,' especially developing countries that are least prepared to contend with a potential pandemic.
