WHO Puts Tamiflu Maker on Bird Flu Alert - 27-05-2006, 03:02 AM

The World Health Organization has for the first time asked the maker of the anti-bird flu drug Tamiflu to ready the global stockpile after human-to-human transmission was suspected in a family cluster in Indonesia, a WHO official said Saturday.

The WHO in Jakarta received word from the Indonesian Health Ministry on Monday of possible human-to-human spread of the virus in a village in North Sumatra.

That prompted the Geneva-based global health organization to put Swiss drug maker Roche Holding AG on alert, said Jules Pieters, director of WHO's rapid response and containment group in Geneva.
