Dr Dixon's stark warnings in early April 2003
about the threat of SARS to the poorest nations, and the
possibility of a subsequent global epidemic, were covered
extensively
by press, radio and TV in many countries, together with
his
call for
robust action by Heads of State, working together with the World Health Organisation. He addressed 7 simultaneous regional conferences organised by the World Bank (videolink) on the issue of potential economic impact. Dr Dixon
first warned in 1987 of the future dangers to global health
from new mutant viruses, and more recently in his book Futurewise.
