Sanofi-aventis Chief Executive Officer Christopher A Viehbacher told the opening session of the Pacific Health Summit in Seattle, Washington that he wanted to back WHO Director General’s call for common action.
“Exceptional times require exceptional responses. We need to act responsibly and we all have to play our part,” said Viehbacher.
“That is the reason why we intend to donate 100 million doses of influenza vaccine to the World Health Organization (WHO) to help developing countries face the influenza pandemic,” he added.
