Thailand's National Plan 2 to combat bird flu
In the event of an H5NI pandemic, which could infect
about 26 million Thais, the National Committee on Avian Influenza Control is
implementing “Plan 2â€, a sequel to the first plan adopted in
2005.
This Plan will focus more on long-term prevention, in
addition to
bird flu outbreak control, and will be implemented from 2008 -
2010. An estimated 4 billion baht (€91 million) will be spent on surveillance
and flu vaccines, 3 billion (€68 million) on overhauling the country's poultry
raising industry, 2 billion baht (€46 million) on research and 1 billion baht
(€23 million) on collaboration with neighbouring countries to combat the
disease.
