Background
20/07/58

The South-East Asian Public Health Education
Institutes Network (SEAPHEIN) was
established at the Facuty of Public Health,
Mahidol University, in 2004, with 35 founding
members.

It also incorporated the Thai Network
(THAIPHEIN), with 19 member institution.

Background


The accomplishments of the Network include 21
Memorandums of Understanding among member
institutions, collaborative research in such area as
Avian influenza, injury and accident prevention,
sanitation and environment, as well as the study on
Essential Public Health Functions (EPHFs).

The Network promotes the use of core competencies,
guideline, educational standards, and institutional
accreditation among its members.

Future plans include upgrading a regional journal on
public health, and conference
to be held in 2008.


The phenomenon of globalization is having a dramatic
impact on public health around the world.

The increasing movement of people and products
across borders as well as the urbanization of
populations in response to the rising industrial nature
of local economics presents new challenges to the
public health network.

In meeting these challenges capacity building in
public health is increasingly being recognized as an
important priority on the local and international level.

Some time ago there was a study using WHO’s
WPRO framework on the essential public health
function carried out in Thailand.
This study made us aware that Thailand wasn’t
doing enough and need to improve the areas of
health promotion, disease control; prevention and
monitoring.


In response of THAIPHEIN was created as a vehicle
of communication and capacity building among the
nations public health institutes.

The subsequent knowledge sharing, skill building
workshops and technical building activities proved
so successful that in December 2003 at WHO
Regional Consultation held in New Delhi, delegates
proposed the establishment of SEAPHEIN.


One of the first steps in the long term process of
improving the public health standards within any
country is to improve the educational standard with
the public health institutes.

To address this need, minimum educational
standards, accreditation and guideline for SEAPHEIN
MPH programs were successfully adapted.
Phitaya


To help all member institutes meet these guidelines
workshops attended by MPH program educators are
conducted on a regular basis at Faculty of Public
Health, Mahidol University.

Through this sharing of skills and expertise among
member institutes, the goal of insuring a high
standard of education in Public Health regardless of
location within the SEAPHEIN network is being
realized.


One successful recent example of a Public Health
capacity building workshop here at Mahidol university
addressed the many areas of Hospital Management.

This was not only attended by area member institutes
from Bangladesh and Maldives but also by hospital
administrators and educators from North Korea.

The workshop included discussion of the lessons
learned through the experience of SARS and the
Avian-Flu and the management of emerging and
re-emerging disease.

These are only two examples but we see
SEAPHEIN and capacity building activities
such as these as being invaluable vehicles
in the continuing and expanding
advancement of South-East Asian Public
Health, today and into the future.
