Vietnam: Bird flu donors pledge $60 mln plus

"Donors have pledged more than US$60 million dollars to help control bird flu from 2006-2010 in Vietnam, which was the worst-hit country but has reported no new human case in half a year, AFP reported Friday.

Seven UN and other international agencies, 23 donors countries and three non-government groups met in Hanoi to discuss the five-year, $250-million effort to control the spread of the deadly disease, said the World Bank."
