UAB The WHO and the ZIKA Virus Epidemic Questions

I’m studying and need help with a Health & Medical question to help me learn.

How is the World Health Organization responding to the ZIKA Virus crisis ? Do you think their efforts are sufficient ? What else needs to be done to prevent, prepared and respond to this crisis?

What do you see as the role of the nonprofit sector in prevention, research, treatment and eradication of the Zika Virus? Do you view the Zika Virus as a public health emergency as defined by the author of our textbook – Professor Turnock? Provide a list of nonprofit organizations that you think should be involved (include weblinks). Do you see a need for a new nonprofit organization or nonprofit research foundation related to the Zika Virus? What other insights or thoughts do you have concerning this public health emergency.
