Health ministers from 11 Southeast Asian countries and World Health Organization (WHO) experts will meet in Thailand Sep 7-10 to discuss key health issues in the region, an official statement said Monday.
The annual meeting of the health ministers is a forum to exchange national experiences on the social, political, and economic dimensions of health.
The health ministers' meeting are expected to discuss the prevention and containment of antimicrobial resistance, injury prevention and safety promotion, acute diarrhoea and respiratory infections', healthy ageing, addressing inequality in maternal and neonatal health, universal health coverage and world health.
This year's meeting will take place in the wake of newer, fatal attacks in the form of Superbug and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Influenza (H1N1 and H5N1) viruses and an increasing number of deaths due to respiratory infections.
