Under
the auspices of the Pacific Public Health Surveillance Network (PPSHN),
the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and the World Health
Organization (WHO) jointly convened the first regional EpiNet workshop in
Suva, Fiji Islands, 1–5 September 2003. The theme of the workshop was:
"Building on the SARS experience — preparing PPHSN for emerging and
re-emerging infectious diseases". The
meeting gathered more than sixty participants and invited guests. They
included members of national/territorial EpiNet teams from all the Pacific
Island countries and territories, except Papua New Guinea and Tuvalu (who
could not make it), and representatives from regional organisations and
collaborating institutions. The
format of the workshop included plenary presentations and discussions,
group work, and panel discussions. Here is an overview of the workshop by day and theme:
Update on SARS - Past, Present and Future
Sustainable funding mechanisms for the response to epidemics in the Regional and National communicable disease databases
Other priority diseases for the PPHSN? New International Health Regulations (IHR)
