Descripción
The history of the battle to control HPAI in Viet
Nam is relatively short but within the past 10 years
there have been many insights developed, as well as
some twists and turns in the road to the current level
of success. As the concerted HPAI effort supported
by FAO is coming to an end, albeit to be adapted into
a broader One Health approach to animal health
and zoonotic diseases, it was considered timely
that a retrospective overview of the programme be
produced to capture key elements and lessons that
have arisen. A key adjunct for this retrospective
is the FAO document ‘Lessons from HPAI – a
technical stocktaking of outputs, outcomes, best
practices and lessons learned from the fight
against highly pathogenic avian influenza in Asia
2005-2011’. Consistent with that stocktake, this
retrospective on the HPAI control effort in Viet Nam
does not attempt to be a comprehensive compilation
of all the outputs and outcomes from the HPAI
programme, but is rather a synopsis that captures
the key experiences and challenges faced in Viet
Nam in addressing this complex disease problem,
concentrating on the USAID inputs but also with
reference to other project areas as appropriate. This
document examines the HPAI situation in Viet Nam
at several points during the last 8 years through the
prism of activities and outcomes in key areas such
as coordination, surveillance, laboratory services,
vaccination, biosecurity, socio-economics and
communications and advocacy.
