Browse documents related to Regional Operational Studies. Regional activities include joint regional small scale operational studies to conduct joint research on CDC issues as well as to strengthen the linkages among the health institutions in the subregion. Studies must pertain to all three CLV countries – or two to the very least. Findings of the studies must be immediately applicable in programme implementation. Studies: - International Epidemiological Collaborative Surveillance, Epidemiology and Prevention of HBV, HCV, HIV and Rabies at the Greater Mekong Sub-region - Lead by Hanoi Medical University (HMU), Vietnam
- HIV/AIDS Transmission at the Vietnam - Lao Border Area, Current Status and Solutions - Lead by Health Strategy and Policy Institute (HSPI), Vietnam
- Surveillance of Avian Influenza, Influenza-like Illness and Dengue Fever/Debgue Hemorrhagic Fever along Cambodian/Vietnam Border [Community-Based Surveillance] - lead by the University of Health Sciences (UHS), Cambodia
- Study on the Prevalence of Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis and Anaemia Status among Women of Child Bearing Age in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam - Lead by National Institute of Malariology, Parasitology and Entomology (NIMPE), Vietnam

ABSTRACT
Background:
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are among the most prevalent afflictions of humans who live in poor areas in the developing world. The morbidity caused by STH infections is most commonly associated with infections of high intensity. Intestinal nematode infections affect one fourth to one third of the world's population. In certain areas of Cambodia, Lao PDR and Vietnam, the prevalence of STH infections in women of child bearing age (WCBA) has already been determined, but the data are not complete and and the problem of anemia and hookworm infection remain largely unknown.

About 10 million, one million and 100,000 people living altogether in Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos were estimated to be carriers of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), respectively in 2005. However, very few epidemiological studies have been performed in the region to determine the prevalence of these viruses and their health impact.

The HSPI developed a proposal for a joint-study of “HIV transmission in Vietnam-Lao PDR border areas: Current status and solutions” in collaboration with the Center for HIV/AIDS/STIs of the Department of Hygiene and Prevention, Ministry of Health of Lao PDR. The study aims to provide evidences for the effective implementation of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Prime Minister’s Decision 38/QĐ - TTg dated January 8, 2008 on “collaboration and cooperation in preventing cross border HIV transmission”.
