Saudi Arabia makes confidence-building move on Mers
Saudi Arabia sits on a global crossroad and therefore has a global responsibility for taking the lead in solving such a problem

A move by Saudi Arabia to replace its health minister amid a rising toll of cases of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, Mers, is a welcome sign that Riyadh is taking the dangers of this disease seriously...

...We live in a globalised era where such problems can no longer be confined to our borders. The responsibility for solving such problems is therefore also a global one.

Transparency is key. While governments? economic considerations and their attempts to prevent mass panic must be appreciated, it is the citizens? right to know the level of danger they face. This will allow the public to take the kind of precautions that will prevent the disease from spreading.
