EGYPT BRACES FOR BIRD FLU COMEBACK
September 2, 2006 (Kuna)

Cairo -- Egypt has anew raised the level of preparedness to confront possibilities of bird flu comeback especially after four new cases were reported in Cairo and Sohaj governorates.

Health Minister Hatem Al-Jabali told reporters Saturday that a number of hospitals have been put on full alert ahead of the start of the bird migration season.

He added that joint teams from the ministries of health, environment, agriculture and venereal disease department have been formed to detect suspicious bird flu cases.

He said that random samples would be taken from birds in various villages and farms in order to contain spread of the disease.

Al-Jabali warned against inappropriate slaughter of birds and advised those concerned to take all necessary preventive measures in this respect.

THAILAND TO TRAIN EGYPT ON BIRD FLU
September 10, 2006 (The Bangkok Post)

Thailand's Public Health Ministry will provide training for the control of bird flu and producing anti-viral medicines to combat the deadly disease for Egyptian medical doctors and related specialists, starting late this year, according to Prat Boonyawongvirot, Permanent Secretary for Public Health.

Dr Prat has just returned from a two-day visit and talks, which began Thursday, with Egyptian Public Health and Population Minister Hatem el-Gabali and his Egyptian counterpart on cooperation and exchanging knowledge on the disease.

The two countries have experienced the outbreak of the disease this year, in which the UN World Health Organisation (WHO) has confirmed that 14 patients in Egypt have contracted the disease, and six have died.

Under the cooperation plan, Thailand will organise a short-term training program for Egyptian medical personnel and send doctors and nurses to provide medical check-up to more than 2,000 Thai students and workers now staying in that country, said Dr Prat.
