  1. SEA Regional Health Update CSRU, SEARD

  2. Recommendation from 2012 • Clarification to be made with NSs leadership as it appears that there is some misunderstanding about Integration. • Head of health of all National societies will attend upcoming RDMC to observe. • NSs (PMI, CRC, etc.) suggested Formation of Regional Health Management Committee by next RDMC. • Disaster Management focal person should attend Regional health meetings. • ART network should function as a part of regional health network since HIV is mainstreamed. HIV becomes sub-group.

  3. Recommendation from 2012 • Master Trainer for CBHFA should be organized including NCD module • IFRC needs to place more emphasis upon the standardisation and harmonisation of PMER tools and CBHFA PMER tools needs to be revised • Many National Societies (PMI, LRC, MRCS, TRC, CRC, etc...) showed keen interest developing PSS capacities.

  13. Leadership meeting 2013 – Leaders’ Response • RDMC and RHWG needs to focus on tangible ways of better cooperation. • The Working Group on Health should also consider how the SEA RCRC can be better prepared to play a valuable role in the event of a health crisis in the region, e.g. SARS, Bird flu, etc. • Review and finalize the Terms of Reference of working group. • SEA NSs should further enhance cooperation with ASEAN and the need to continue to pursue the goal of concluding a Cooperation Framework (CF) with ASEAN. • Come up with a clearer, more specific recommendation on support needed
