Yesterday I posted the complete text of WHO’s description of its #errors in dealing with #Ebola in West Africa (...). It was striking for the frankness of its admissions.
(...) strange report by Guardian health editor Sarah Boseley: How WHO revised its self-criticism over Ebola handling. Here’s what Boseley wrote. Click through to the full report to see how thoroughly (and rapidly) watered down its original statement:
The World Health Organisation issued a fairly profound statement of the mistakes made in its own handling of the Ebola outbreak while pointing to the way forward this morning, which dropped into my email inbox at 09.21 UK time. Then just an hour later, it issued what it called a #correction, but which was in fact a substantial #revision of the document.
