UNICEF: Vietnam Avian Flu Awareness
UNICEF is raising awareness about avian influenza in Vietnam to prevent the spread of the virus among birds and avoid its transmission to humans. Millions of poultry birds had to be slaughtered to contain the 2004-2005 bird flu outbreak that is devastating rural communities. The current campaign is supported by the Japanese government. The programme coordinates an integrated, multi-sectoral response by both government and international agencies to control bird flu. With funds provided by Japan, UNICEF is working with Viet Nam's Ministry of Health to raise community awareness and promote better hygiene.
