USAID Increases Collaboration Between Vietnam and Cambodia on Transnational Public Health Threats

There are challenges in ensuring coordinated responses to cross-border health threats between Vietnam and Cambodia. From August 21-22, USAID organized a review of the two countries’ Border Health Quarantine Agreement. Representatives from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, International Organization for Migration Cambodia, and Vietnam’s Ministry of Health attended to discuss strategies to strengthen a multi-sectoral approach to pandemic preparedness, including prevention, detection, and responses to zoonotic diseases.
