His Majesty also wished all the best to Dr Adeeba and prayed that she would create more excellent success stories and able to keep the Malaysia flag flying high.
Al-Sultan Abdullah also hoped that the success would inspire all Malaysians to work harder and strive for success in their respective fields.
The WHO Science Council acts as the voice of scientific leadership in giving recommendations and advice on scientific and technological advances that can directly impact global health.
Members of the council comprise internationally renowned experts with excellent track records in their respective fields as well as having a recognised understanding of global health.
