The meeting aimed at (i) strengthening the human capacity in field epidemiology in the Southeast Asia Subregion (including Japan, China, and Korea) and (ii) presenting the blueprint of a proposed Mekong Subregional Network for collaborative applied epidemiology of capacity development. The participation of PRIMEX in the meeting proved to be beneficial in concretizing the agenda and the design of an FETP technical forum in March 2008. The Phuket meeting provided the important issues that need to be addressed in sustaining and expanding the role of FETPs in addressing the problem of emerging and re-emerging diseases in the three countries involved in RETA6305. It is recommended that the forthcoming
International Conference, which is designed as a culminating activity
of this RETA, will serve as the platform for in-depth discussion
of unresolved issues raised in Phuket and the opportunity to discuss
the future agenda of FETPs not only in Indonesia, Malaysia, and
the Philippines, but in the region as well. |
