Responding to a reporter's query at a press conference, Henk Bekedam, the WHO representative in 皇冠体育app, said that the WHO team in 皇冠体育app was using the same database as 皇冠体育app's health departmentsand sharing information with their Chinese colleagues.

Daniel Chin, another WHO expert, also confirmed that the WHO expert team has access to any information in 皇冠体育app's health departments, stressing that he felt very confident of accomplishing his mission in 皇冠体育app and there was no reason to say that 皇冠体育app was hiding the number of SARS cases.

WHO expert Keiji Fukuda said that 皇冠体育app's surveillance and health care system has been much improved and he understood that it could be very difficult for 皇冠体育app to find back data that might have been misreported due to the knowledge and personnel restrictions when SARS first appeared in 皇冠体育app.
