Timor Leste SEAR

Seasonal Influenza True burden in SEA Region still not fully understood Disease burden studies –Thailand Influenza occurs year-round Follows a bimodal seasonal pattern with substantial variability. Young children & elderly most affected In-hospital deaths are more common than previously appreciated –Myanmar Influenza exhibits seasonality, coincides with the rainy season June to Aug –India Seasonality varies geographically

Influenza Seasonality Pune (west) Kolkota (east) Chennai (south) Delhi (north)

Regional strategy: 2008 Strategic directionKey elements Establishment of Regional Influenza Laboratory Network Strengthen operational NICs Expand the laboratory network Implement external quality assessment scheme Establish partnerships Capacity buildingTraining staff in all NIC Organize extramural training for specialized tests Conduct training on bio-safety & shipment Introduction of e-based training/orientation Monitor influenza activitiesDevelop Lab data management system Integrate influenza surveillance in NIC database Support multi-site surveillance Conduct risk assessment

Activities in Regional workshop on diagnosis of H1N1 Regional workshop on monitoring resistance in influenza viruses Regional Workshop on Biosafety and Biosecurity in labs : Study visits to NIC staff within Region Reagents procurement Funding from various international partners

Challenges Capacity to diagnose all H types Limited access to diagnostic services No NIC in three countries Coordination with animal health sector Revision of NIPPP (post pandemic) Data management and information sharing Indigenous reagents production

Future plans NIC in all Member countries Hand holding by established NIC for new and upcoming NICs Revision of NIPPP Collaboration with animal health sector Expanding immunization and surveillance Data sharing

Experience from H1N Pandemic Expertise and Capacity within Region Opportunity for strengthening regional and national preparedness and response capacity Regional tools for assessment of response to pandemic H1N1( 2009) Sharing of country experiences, lessons learned and best practices

Objectives 1.Strengthen the preparedness and capacity of SEAR member countries to respond to influenza with pandemic potential 2.Strengthen and integrate the capacity to carry out surveillance and response to seasonal and pandemic influenza 3.Strengthen laboratory infrastructure and build laboratory and epidemiology capacity to accurately and promptly diagnose seasonal influenza and influenza with pandemic potential.

Implementation Provide on going support to member countries in SEAR to review and modify their NIPRP Assist member countries in SEAR to review regulations and policy related to use of Influenza vaccine Build collaborative partnerships for research and production of influenza vaccine

Implementation Implementation of the Global Influenza Surveillance guidelines at regional level Define minimum data sets needed for surveillance Monitoring and evaluation support

Build laboratory and epidemiology capacity annual regional meeting of NICs to review progress provide updates on new issues related to early detection of influenza and novel influenza strains monitoring of anti-viral resistance support for on-site laboratory trainings
