Given the sharp rise in measles cases in the US, the Pan American Health Organization is considering whether to no longer recognize the US as a measles-free country at this month's meeting. According to news from the British side on the 11th, as a regional agency of the World Health Organization, the Pan American Health Organization has requested all 35 American members to submit reports on the measles situation in their countries for review by an expert committee. The expert committee will make relevant recommendations to the Pan American Health Organization's annual meeting currently being held in the US, and the organization's director, Yalbus Barbosa, will then make a final decision and notify the relevant members. A spokesperson for the organization said on the 11th that in addition to the US, Mexico and Bolivia have also been added to the watch list due to ongoing measles outbreaks. The Pan American Health Organization's annual meeting is scheduled to end on the 13th, and the relevant decisions are expected to be announced early next week.
