Published: 27/05/2009 05:00
| The US will provide Vietnam with 4,000 sets of personal protective equipment and 100 boxes of biodegradable disinfectant powder to help cope with future bird flu threats, the US embassy said in a press release Wednesday. |
| The provision is enough to produce over 20,000 liters of disinfectant to help animal health workers respond quickly to outbreaks of the H5N1 avian flu virus or H1N1 swine influenza strain. This assistance package, valued at over US$57,000 and implemented by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), comes at the request of Vietnamâs Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, with technical support from the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization. The shipment is on its way to veterinary departments in 10 provinces and cities most at risk of bird flu or in greatest need of the supplies: Can Tho, Ha Nam, Hau Giang, Hung Yen, Kien Giang, Quang Binh, Quang Ngai, Quang Tri, Thai Nguyen, and Tra Vinh. The US government has provided more than $33.5 million in bird-flu aid to Vietnam since 2005. Reported by Bao Anh |
