WHO raises alarm over new global health threat to human beings.


Recent reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) assert that fungal infections are becoming an increasing threat to humanity. Fungi are becoming resistant to treatments, and the diagnosis of such infections is inadequate. WHO calls for research to find effective treatment and diagnostic methods for these infections.
According to analysts, severely ill individuals, especially those with weakened immunity, face mycoses - infections that are resistant to medical treatments. This leads to high mortality rates. Professor Armstrong-James notes that one third of the world's population is infected with fungi, particularly skin candidiasis and athlete's foot.
More dangerous fungi are also emerging, such as mucormycosis, which spreads from the nose to the eyes and brain and can lead to death. Treating such an infection requires the removal of infected tissues and the use of strong medications.
WHO's Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warns of a potential pandemic of fungal infections and urges humanity to be prepared for it. Additional research is already needed to address the issue of fungal infections.
WHO also emphasized that the healthcare system in Europe is lagging, particularly in mental health. This requires immediate attention and improvement of the healthcare system.
According to the UN, mortality rates among pregnant women and during childbirth have increased due to Covid-19. Studying this issue is urgent.
