Viet Nam Major Overseas Programme Core Grant Renewal 2010-2015 supplement: Patan Hospital emergency equipment (360G-Wellcome-089276_B_09_C)

£97,609

Infectious diseases remain a very real global threat. In addition to the endemic infections there has been emergence of new, often zoonotic, diseases and the rise of drug resistance among all major pathogens. Asia is the epicentre of these changes. Within a four hour flight of Vietnam live half the world s human population and 75% of the world s poultry. The region is a global hot spot for the emergence of new infectious diseases, it leads the world in drug resistance, and is going through an unprecedented period of social and environmental change. The future impact of these changes is difficult to predict but it will influence disease patterns both directly and indirectly. We believe that this trusted collaboration between Vietnam and the Wellcome Trust is uniquely placed to address these complex issues both nationally and regionally. Our work keeps health research as the focus with an integrated science programme and a particular interest in the interface between human and animal health. Our training and public engagement programme from schools to post-docs and lay people is helping to build a critical mass of Asian clinicians and scientists dedicated to the development of the region and the health of its people.
