The Avian Flu and World Health

The latest world health crisis is the spread of what's known as the Avian Flu. The flu, which originates and is spread by birds, could mutate into a form that would become spreadable between people. World Health is the subject of PBS's "RX For Survival," a six-part documentary series set to air in November on MPT.
