ASEF Public Health Network
Overview
The Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) leaders at the 7th ASEM Summit (2008) stated their determination to combat a possible human influenza pandemic. Reflecting this strong political statement, the Government of Japan expressed its willingness to take the lead on the issue by initiating the “ASEM Initiative for the Rapid Containment of Pandemic Influenza”. This initiative includes a “Network Component” and a “Stockpile Component”.
The ASEF Public Health Network is a participatory platform, it encourages public health dialogue, between actors from health and non-health sectors across Asia and Europe.
