China’s fight against bird flu has big financial gap – Xinhua

From Xinhua:

China’s fight against the avian/human pandemic influenza is facing a relatively big financial gap, said China’s Chief Veterinary Jia Youling here Tuesday.

Jia made the remarks at a conference in Beijing aimed to collect global financial resources to stop the disease from further spreading among birds and from birds to humans.

As one of the earliest countries that reported bird flu cases, China has taken a number of forceful and effective measures in curbing the disease.

Yet China is now in need of financial, technical and material assistance from the international community to help it with the thorough prevention and control of bird flu.
