(At 12th day of second Pyithu Hluttaw’s 17th regular Session on 27 August 2020)

Question on whether there is a plan to implement a National Strategic Plan for One Health, which combines the health of human and animal and environmental protection.

MP Dr Than Aung Soe ( Minhla constituency): : “Honourable Speaker, I am MP Dr Than Aung Soe from Minhla constituency. I would like to know if there will be a National Strategic Plan to implement “One Health” which combines human health, animal health and the environmental protection. The honourable Hluttaw Speaker and members of the Parliament, health is a blessing. Human needs to have both food safety which is to eat safe milk, meat and eggs and food security which is to have enough food. Now, COVID-19 is killing many people and threatening world’s economy. These kinds of disease start from animals and are called Zoonoses. 75% of human diseases are transmitted from animals such as Glanders and Farcy disease, Q Fever, Leptospirosis disease, H1N1, Swine fever, SARS, MERS, Psittacosis, COVID-19 and many more. Until now, 61.6% of 1,415 diseases are based on animals.”

“The reasons of the transmission of such diseases are because population explosion leads to invading animal world and being close to them, transport of meat around the world and wild life markets. Besides, carrying alive animals among the people in markets can spread the disease. If we look at the newly discovered diseases, they come from a place where the disease usually occurs and is transmitted to new places. Another form of the disease is that the virus doesn’t infect to normally infected people or animals but others and the disease occurs due to the mutation. At that time, the virus has become stronger and varieties of diseases can multiply unbelievably. COVID-19 is now mutating and changing from D614 to G614 as ten times more infectious disease. The diseases can be invented as a Bio Weapon by terrorists, too”

“ Honourable Hluttaw Speaker and Members of Parliament, cooperation of diagnostic doctors, veterinarians, lab technicians, environmentalists, researchers and experts from related fields to implement “One Health National Strategic Plan” can prevent the unthinkable terrifying new diseases. That is why I would like to ask through the Honourable Speaker. Thank you very much.”

The Speaker : Ministry of Health and Sport to answer.

Answer by Dr Mya Lay Sein ( Deputy Minister for Health and Sports),

“ Honourable Pyithu Hluttaw Speaker and Members of Parliament, I will answer the question of the MP from Min Hla constituency. I would like to request to let me use Power Point and English language. In International Health Regulation-IHR (2005) enacted by WHO, a new framework was added to response among member nations if there is international emergency for public health. The framework calls for a link between the two spheres of human and animal health to effectively carry out disease surveillance and response in rare cases, including zoonotic diseases. Livestock, Breeding and Veterinary Department and the Department of Public Health have been working together to prevent and control the H5N1 virus since the outbreak of the Avian Influenza A-H5N1 pandemic in Myanmar in 2013.”

“In March 2016 in Nay Pyi Taw, One Health Strategy Workshop was held with representatives from UN agencies such as FAO, OIE, WHO, USAID and international organizations, environmental conservation, human health and animal health sectors in Myanmar and based on the findings of the workshop, a roadmap for one health priority and a strategic roadmap was developed.

Based on this information, various sections were discussed and datas were collected and finalized in the last week of September 2019, and the National One Health Strategic Framework and Action Plan of Myanmar 2019-2023 was finalized. The key ministries which are Ministry of Health and Sports, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation have reached an agreement in order to implement the strategic process.

The goal of implementing a single health plan is to reduce the burden of animal-to-human transmission of the disease, to prevent the new Zoonotic Diseases and Re-emerging Diseases and to response effectively if they occur and to prevent antibiotic problems and foodborne illness.

In the National One Health Strategic Framework and Action Plan of Myanmar (2019-2023), Antimicrobial resistance-AMR and six priority diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans- Rabies, H1N1, TB, food poisoning, Japanese encephalitis and Rabies have been put in place to prioritize and are being implemented in the relevant sectors.

Public Health Department has distributed the guidelines for prevention and control of the diseases such as SARS, Food-Borne and Water-Borne Diseases, Ebola, MERS, Salmonella, Leptospirosis, Brucellosis, Tazoplasmosis, Pararsitic Infestation.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Ministry of Health and Sports is responsible for food safety activities for the health and safety of human, animal, meat, fish and Agriculture; Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department and the Department of Fisheries under the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation are responsible for the quality and safety of meat, milk, eggs, and fishery products.

With the cooperation of public health care services and breeding and veterinary services , National-Level IRS- PVS National Bridging Workshop was held in 2019 and discussed making Road Map for Human Health and Animal Health and promoting the skills of staff to serve for Zoonotic Diseases.

The health guidelines and prevention, control and treatment measures of COVID-19 pandemic, which breaks out across the world including Myanmar, directives for isolation, diagnostic guidelines are also sent to the regions and states Public Health and Medical Services Department.

Moreover, regarding with the control of Anti-Microbial Resistance, the National Coordinating Centre is affiliated with National Health Laboratory and five Technical Working GroupsAwareness, Surveillance, Infection, Prevention and Control, Antimicrobial Usage and Research & Innovation are being organized under NCC. One Health Strategic Framework and Action Plan is carried out under One Health Approach with Anti-Microbial Resistance control, labs under the Ministry of Health and Sports and animal health labs under the Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department.

The Medical Services Department and National Health Laboratory conduct diagnostic test on One Health Priority Diseases as (a) National malaria control department recognized by WHO, (b) National Japanese Encephalitis Laboratory, (c) laboratory test on Rabies by PCR, (d) diagnosis of bacteria that can cause food poisoning, (e) screening bacteria that can cause Rabies.

The Public Health Laboratory of Mandalay conducts Japanese Encephalitis as Sub-National Japanese Encephalitis Laboratory. The laboratories under the Ministry of Agricultural, Livestock and Irrigation and Livestock Breeding and Veterinary Department also test for rabies, H1N1 and marine products whether they contain microorganisms.

The COVID-19 tests are being carried out at NHL, DMR, Public Health Laboratory (Mandalay), Public Health Laboratory (Mawlamyine) with Real Time PCR and with GeneXpert in 26 townships of regions and states including General Hospital (Sittway).

The Department of Public Health Laboratory will be open soon in Taunggyi and Lashio townships to continue diagnostic works. The currently used PCR laboratories are included in External Quality Assessment Programme (EQAP) of the World Health Organization.

For the capacity building of the National Health Laboratory, the staff are given trainings for Quality, Biosafety and Biosecurity. The Laboratory Network Strengthening includes information exchange training of public hospitals and laboratories across the country. Thank you all.

The Hluttaw Speaker : :Members of Parliament, according to 2013 Pyithu Hluttaw Law Section 150, it is a question and answer that benefits the citizens. I would like to inform you that it will be published in the Gazette and state-owned newspapers.

TODAY (27 August, 2020), as part of its commitment to strengthening health information systems and improving health[1], especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, WHO announced a new approach to improving access to life-saving data: the SCORE for Health Data Technical Package.

TIMELY AND RELIABLE DATA

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for timely and reliable data to drive strategic health action. Too many countries still lack both the infrastructure to routinely gather health data and the analytical capacity to use these data for effective health actions and emergency response.

 “Countries must be able to measure progress to make progress,” said WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “Particularly during COVID-19, reliable data is the best way to coordinate response efforts and improve health in all areas.”

 Accurate health data are necessary to understand specific country needs in order to improve health and save lives. Data also helps direct scarce resources to where they are needed most.

TECHNICAL PACKAGE

The SCORE (Survey, Count, Optimize, Review, Enable) Technical Package aims to improve the availability of timely, reliable, validated, and comparable health data. For the first time in a single, harmonized package, it represents all the key elements for optimized health information system performance. Simply put, SCORE will help governments around the globe set benchmarks and improve standards in healthcare.

 In response to the challenges of data availability highlighted in the WHO World Health Statistics 2020 report, SCORE includes more than 90 universally-accepted tools and standards for health information systems strengthening. “Using data to inform public health priorities and strategies has never been more important,” said Dr Kelly Henning, Director of Public Health Programmes at Bloomberg Philanthropies[2]. “The SCORE Technical Package provides country governments around the world with high-quality, essential technical guidance so that countries can strengthen their own data systems.” WHO is proud to partner with the Bloomberg Philanthropies Data for Health Initiative to deliver this timely resource to countries.

Below are some examples of how SCORE can improve individual lives and communities:

• The birth of a child is registered so they can access essential health services, attend school, and apply for a passport;

• A death is registered with cause-of-death accurately captured so that policy-makers have a better understanding of all-cause and COVID-specific mortality and associated risk factors and implement programs and policies to save lives;

• Health data are disaggregated by age, sex and cause of death to illustrate the root causes of health disparities and help direct resources to the most vulnerable groups such as those who do not speak the local language or face stigma and discrimination in their community;

• Health facilities have the capacity to regularly measure the quality of their services, workforce and patient data and can make a compelling case for increased funding to national and international stakeholders;

• Health data are integrated with other sectors so that social determinants of health such as pollution, sanitation and nutrition are addressed to reduce the overall burden of disease. The package’s initial release includes two documents:

• SCORE Essential Interventions – including an overview of health information systems, underlying elements, and indicators to assess progress with sample actions; and

• SCORE Tools and Standards -- including resources to address critical health data gaps and strengthen country health data.

 “We must keep score to save lives. WHO is committed to working with countries and partners to rapidly scale up capacity for data collection and use in order to improve policy and performance,” added Dr Samira Asma, Assistant Director-General for Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact at WHO. “We must act now to invest in statistical systems in countries, respond to this pandemic and meet the SDGs and the Triple Billion targets. Our window of opportunity is closing, and we cannot wait to address data gaps. Data use to address country needs has to be a priority today.

SUSTAINABLE HEALTH SYSTEMS

Country-owned, disaggregated data will be essential for more resilient and sustainable health systems going forward. COVID-19 is both a wake-up call and a stark reminder of the challenges we still have to address. But it is also an opportunity to build back better through solidarity, information-sharing and collaboration.

SCORE is one example of how a collaborative approach can benefit countries by providing a common set of tools based on shared standards. This package is designed to be practical, actionable and flexible. We will only be successful in combatting COVID-19 if we work together.

 Future components of the SCORE Technical Package are due to be released later this year, including the SCORE Assessment Instrument and global, regional and country status reports. Together, these will provide a complete package of information to plan and monitor progress against national and subnational priorities as well as global targets.

DIRECTOR-GENERAL U Zaw Htay of the Ministry of Office of State Counsellor, New Mon State Party (NMSP) central executive member Nai Aung Ma Ngay, and Sai Kyaw Nyunt, Joint-Secretary of the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD), held a press conference on the 19th meeting of the Union Peace Dialogue Joint Committee (UPDJC) at Myanmar International Convention Center-I in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.

U Zaw Htay first said this meeting produced 9 points of agreement and a topic put on record. He said they discussed the days the peace conference will be held, number of representatives attending, placing full responsibility on UPDJC members according to its rules and regulations, and putting the decisions made at the 9th JCM on the UPDJC’s record.

The Director-General said they also discussed the three sections to Part III of the Union Accord which will be submitted to the peace conference. He said they reached an agreement on the role of political parties outlined in the first section of Part III in addition to the reports from UPDJC and JMC that will be submitted.

They also approved of the moderating group for the peace conference, distribution of duties during the conference, and rules for representatives to follow during the conference.

Nai Aung Ma Ngay said this UPDJC meeting discussed the programme of the upcoming Union Peace Conference and the content of the Union Accord.

He said they also changed the assigned duties of representatives from ethnic armed organizations and divided overall duties for the peace conference. He said they reached 9 points of agreement and put one matter on record.

U Sai Kyaw Nyunt who said the political parties did something unique at this meeting. He said the agreements chosen to be added into the Union Accord in this session of the peace conference were written for both sides of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) but that made it look like political parties were left out. He said there wasn’t enough time to recall the JICM to address this issue but the content in the Union Accord may take a different form later on. He said they thus decided to adopt a model where the government, Hluttaw and Tatmadaw as one group, EAOs as another group and political parties as one group will handle the implementation of UPDJC-related agreements.

U Zaw Htay, Nai Aung Ma Ngay and Sai Kyaw Nyunt responded to questions from journalists present.

After the press conference, U Zaw Htay went to the Nay Pyi Taw City Development Committee Guesthouse and explained the programme, rules for representatives to follow, and the formation of the next part of the Union Accord to Pyithu and Amyotha Hluttaw representatives who will be attending the Fourth Session of the Union Peace Conference – 21st Century Panglong. Peace Commission member U Hla Maung Shwe also explained the daily programmes of the peace conference to the Hluttaw representatives.
