The World Health Organization （WHO） has given a "positive, objective and fair" assessment of China's anti－SARS efforts, Gao Qiang, Chinese vice－minister of health, said Thursday at a joint press briefing of Ministry of Health and WHO.
Gao said that he had had a comprehensive and thorough conversation on SARS control with Dr. David Heymann, WHO executive director for communicable diseases, who arrived in Beijing on Wednesday.
Gao said he had discussed with Dr. Heymann the measures to prevent a reoccurrence of severe acute respiratory syndrome （SARS）,and methods to improve China's prevention and treatment system for communicable diseases.
During the conversation, Gao expressed his thanks to the WHO for its help in China's battle against SARS, saying that his country will work in cooperation with the WHO in other areas in addition to SARS control.
China expects to cooperate with the WHO on a still broader and deeper level in the hope of improving its public health system, building up a sound public health system in rural areas, and training more qualified medical workers, Gao said.
