He was speaking at a panel discussion at the XII Global Baku Forum.

"If we didn't have the WHO, we would have to invent something similar. We need a central global platform that would display and track everything happening around the world and inform everyone about what's going on. And this will not only help avoid pandemics that occurred in the past but also organize mutual exchange," said Serageldin.
