Lessons Learned Workshop on the Mekong Floods in 2000

The objectives of the workshop were to:
1. to review the impact of Mekong floods in 2000 on health and health services in countries of the Mekong Basin;
2. to review the specific health-related interventions that were undertaken by each country and identify problems encountered;
3. to recommend solutions to these problems to ensure more effective public health interventions for future floods in the Mekong Basin, and
4. to establish mechanisms to promote intra-agency, interagency and
inter country coordination and collaboration in implementing public health interventions for health emergency management in the Mekong Basin.
