WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION FIFTY-THIRD WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY Geneva, Switzerland 15-20 May 2000 A53/1 Corr.1 17 April 2000
Provisional agenda CORRIGENDUM In accordance with Rule 5(b) of the Rules of Procedure of the Health Assembly, the Board shall include in the provisional agenda of each regular session of the Health Assembly “all items that the Health Assembly has, in a previous session, ordered to be included”. In resolution WHA52.10 the Health Assembly decided that it should review annually the question of temporary retention of the existing stocks of variola virus at the current locations. An item related to this matter was inadvertently omitted from the provisional agenda submitted to the Executive Board for approval. Therefore, the provisional agenda should be corrected to include the following:
COMMITTEE A 12. Technical and health matters 12.14 Smallpox eradication: temporary retention of variola virus stocks
