The Asia-Pacific Health and Environment Challenges
The Asia-Pacific Region is faced with pressing public health challenges involving the spread of new and old infectious diseases, industrial accidents, disasters stemming from environmental degradation and climate changes, and ageing of population. Arising from these challenges were crises which captured the world’s attention such as the rapid transmission of HIVAIDS, SARS, and Avian Bird Flu, mining accidents, floods and droughts. Capacity building for preparedness and effective risk management - particularly prompt and appropriate responses to public health risks - are vital.
