AVIAN INFLUENZA SIMULATION TAKES PLACE
On March 27, 2007, a one-day avian influenza simulation exercise was held at the Congress Hotel, sponsored by USAID and organized jointly by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The exercise was designed to bring together the key Armenian ministries and agencies responsible for responding to any avian flu outbreak. The exercise simulated days one through 50 of an outbreak, and helped participants identify the proper response to a developing outbreak scenario based on Armenia’s National Response Plan for Avian Influenza.
Similar simulation exercises are being planned by USAID in other countries throughout Europe and Eurasia to ensure that the region is prepared address avian influenza, should a widespread outbreak occur. While the United States Government is not aware of any cases of either animal or human avian flu in Armenia, we recognize that proper preparedness to respond to any possible outbreak is Armenia’s best defense.
During his opening remarks, Acting USAID Mission Director, Mr. Karl Fickenscher said, “The Armenian Government has already taken important steps to improve its response capacity if an outbreak were to occur in Armenia. I am confident that significant strides are being made to protect Armenia's avian populations and keep its citizens healthy and safe.”
The opening ceremony included Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Head of the Inter-Ministerial Avian Flu Taskforce, Mr. Levon Ruhkian, along with representatives from the WHO and FAO.
