Nancy Reagan Recovering From
Fall
Former First Lady Nancy Reagan is still recovering from a fall in March
in which she sustained a number of broken ribs, a spokeswoman said
Tuesday. She was unable to attend an event Tuesday evening at the Reagan
Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., CNN reported.
Reagan, 90, “has been recovering slowly and has been adding a few
appointments back on to her schedule, but was advised by her doctor today
not to try and attend large events too far from home just yet,”
spokeswoman Joanne Drake said Tuesday.
According to CNN, Mrs. Reagan has been hospitalized at least two
times over the past few years and rarely appears in public. In October
2008, she was hospitalized with a broken pelvis after a fall at her home,
CNN said.

Chan Reappointed WHO
Director-General
Dr. Margaret Chan has won a second five-year term as director-general
of the World Health Organization.
Chan ran unopposed and was reappointed Wednesday during a closed-door
session, the Associated Press reported.
In a WHO news release, Chan said she will fight for universal health
coverage as “the single most powerful concept that public health has to
offer. It is a powerful equalizer.”
She also said uncertainty over international health funding is a top
priority, the AP reported.
Chan is a Canadian-trained medical doctor with Chinese nationality who
joined WHO in 2003, after serving as health director in Hong Kong.

High Radiation Found Around Fukushima Nuke
Plant: WHO
Several areas near the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan had radiation
above cancer-causing levels, but most of the nation did not, according to
a World Health Organization report released Wednesday.
The first global report about radiation exposure from last year’s
meltdowns at the nuclear plant said increases in radiation were below
cancer-causing levels in nearly all of Japan, the Associated Press
reported.
Neighboring countries had radiation levels similar to normal background
radiation, while the rest of the world had some minor radiation exposure
through food.
Previously, the U.N.’s International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed
that radiation levels in some Japanese vegetables and milk were much
higher than Japan allows for consumption, the AP reported.
