You are watching UNICEF Television. 00:00:00
With kernels of corn, Nguyen Thi Tham fills out a questionnaire 00:00:04
in a government survey of poultry-raising practices. 00:00:09
Tham's entire farm of 200 chickens was culled in 2004 00:00:13
when an outbreak of avian flu struck Ha Thay province, 00:00:17
outside the capital, Hanoi. 00:00:21
She has struggled to start again with another 200 chickens, 00:00:24
but she worries about the future. 00:00:28
We believe the threat of avian flu is grave 00:00:31
and we are concerned about how we raise our poultry. 00:00:34
If our poultry is infected with avian flu, 00:00:37
it will be a huge economic loss for the family. 00:00:40
Vietnam was one of the countries hardest hit by the virus. 00:00:44
Ninety-three people were infected. 00:00:48
Of those, 42 died. 00:00:50
Millions of chickens were culled to contain the illness, 00:00:52
handing farmers tens of millions of U.S. dollars in losses. 00:00:55
A rapid response by the Vietnamese government, 00:01:00
with backing from the international community, 00:01:02
has helped bring the outbreak under control. 00:01:05
There have been no cases of human infection since November 2005, 00:01:08
but the risk of a return of the virus 00:01:13
and a potential human pandemic remains high. 00:01:15
We haven't seen the end yet, I believe. 00:01:19
I think it is very incumbent on us to not be complacent 00:01:21
and help the Vietnamese build their own capacity 00:01:24
to be able to respond in the most effective way possible. 00:01:26
A $16 million U.S. dollar joint program 00:01:31
between the government and the United Nations 00:01:34
coordinates an integrated response by government 00:01:36
and international agencies to control avian flu. 00:01:39
UNICEF is part of that effort. 00:01:43
It works with Vietnam's Ministry of Health 00:01:46
to raise community awareness and promote better hygiene, 00:01:49
with funds provided by the Japanese government. 00:01:52
With that support, the Vietnamese government 00:01:55
says it's better prepared for any potential outbreak. 00:01:58
Now we have experience to tackle with the outbreaks. 00:02:02
So from now and later on, 00:02:07
if any outbreaks on poultry and on humans, 00:02:10
we think that we have better knowledge and practice to control. 00:02:15
A welcome message for poultry farmers across the country, 00:02:20
as they will be among the first to suffer if avian flu returns. 00:02:24
In Da Yen Commune, Vietnam, 00:02:29
this is Steve Nettleton reporting for UNICEF Television. 00:02:31
Unite for Children. 00:02:34
