IV. Thoughts & Recommendations for OIE wildlife focal points

Thoughts For OIE Wildlife Focal Point There are several wildlife-related issues that are important for One Health and conservation Wildlife Health Sector capacity is behind those of public health and livestock health sectors There is always gaps in Wildlife Health Capacity in Southeast Asian countries Opportunistic and formal collaboration allow wildlife health professionals to build capacity through several platforms

Thoughts For OIE Wildlife Focal Point Assist in assessing country needs and gaps Contribute to building individual, institutional and national capacity Promote and invest in wildlife morbidity and mortality reporting systems Engage in One Health related activities Publish report and research articles and share it regionally and internationally

Recommendations Capacity and needs assessment (individual and institutional) is a vital element and should be conducted systematically. It will allow a country to demonstrate strengths, as well as address gaps that requires additional resource and training to achieve individual and institutional needs Capacity building through in-service training and degree programs should be promoted and implemented. It will strengthen wildlife health professionals (not only vets). Specific disciplines such as pathology, disease diagnostics, epidemiology are critical capacity for national Wildlife Health missions and requires high level support. Reporting of wildlife morbidity and mortality, and sharing of information with the aim of early detection, early warning and response is needed for better management of wildlife disease and One Health
