 | Description: This training package has 2 portions. The first part is for hospital-based surveillance of signal events and the second part refers to the response of healthcare facilities once such an event is detected. We are not exactly sure where in your current categories would be the best place to locate it, especially since there is no surveillance section. Since it refers to health facilities preparation, maybe it could be included under pandemic preparedness? | |

 | Pages: 20; Description: This guideline assists countries in achieving sustainable and functional collaboration between animal and human health sectors, which is crucial to addressing the challenges posed by endemic, emerging and re-emerging zoonoses. Abstract: This guideline assists countries in achieving sustainable and functional collaboration between animal and human health sectors, which is crucial to addressing the challenges posed by endemic, emerging and re-emerging zoonoses. It outlines step-by-step actions to develop appropriate collaborations in the four key areas identified in the Asia Pacific Strategy for Emerging Diseases (APSED) zoonoses work plan. These are surveillance and information sharing, coordinated response, risk reduction and collaborative research. | |
