Feds show off new disease centre in Winnipeg, vow to be ready for pandemic
Winnipeg - Federal health officials expressed confidence Friday that Canada is ready for the next infectious disease outbreak as they officially opened a new $3-million emergency operations centre.
The centre includes a five-metre-wide video screen along with computers and a bank of telephones. It will allow health officials to hold video-conferences and share computer data with counterparts across the country and with international groups such as the World Health Organization.
