rooster59 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 DNP Deputy Director General: Thailand’s plan to cope with Health Risks among Humans and Animals supawadee wangsri BANGKOK, 06 July 2019 (NNT) - Thai health authorities have been putting in place plans to cope with outbreaks of diseases that can affect humans, animals and wildlife in Thailand. The Deputy Director-General of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant (DNP) has confirmed that Thailand is already monitoring the risk of rabies and the current outbreak of African swine fever in some areas. Executives and officials from related agencies such as the Department of Livestock Development, the Department of Disease Control, the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Local Administration and the Zoological Park Organization of Thailand, have attended a meeting to discuss broad cooperation on the health of people, animals and wildlife to develop an epidemic surveillance system and be ready to cope with any outbreak. DNP Deputy-Director General Jongkhlai Woraphongsathorn said the meeting was aimed at establishing collaboration to prevent and monitor outbreaks. The relevant agencies have been following up on the rabies situation even though there are no current cases. He has ordered the relevant authorities to monitor and report on the situation on a periodic basis. This year, the government is to distribute vaccines to the public. Thai health authorities are now on alert to the spread of African swine fever which has recently occured in countries such as Laos, Vietnam and China. He has also instructed the authorities to patrol national parks and wildlife sanctuaries especially in border areas where it is necessary to randomly check wild boars and pigs as another way to prevent outbreaks of disease. Although swine fever is not contagious between animals and humans, it is considered a disease that can badly affect the economy and the pig farming industry. People are strongly advised to avoid eating raw pork for their own safety. -- © Copyright nnt 2019-07-07 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in high authority talking about "putting in place plans". That usually means that no plan will ever eventuate and even if does it will conform to Murphy's Law of Thai Government Planning.

from the home of CC Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 There continues to occur a huge outbreak of the disease of addiction fueled by the nearby the major methamphetamine factories. As the world has proven, you can't arrest or even murder (think Philippines) your way out of this problem. It's time for a major change for rational thought. Instead of chasing addicts into the shadows decriminalize their disease and allow them to be treated as a medical issue rather than a criminal one. This is a disease that will not go away while money is still being made by distribution of this poison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
