Towards strengthening disaster medicine system in the ASEAN region. Mr. Itsu Adachi, Executive advisor to the director general, infrastructure and peacebuilding department, JICA
ASEAN regional efforts in disaster management response includes declaration, meetings, trainings and laws on disaster management for ASEAN countries. The involvement of many stakeholders for DRR and DM were included in these developments.
Collaboration is important in disaster medicine in the ASEAN region and should be continuously improved in the future to make countries more resilient to disaster events.
Several countries have an existing system related to emergency medicine, but more need to develop plans to create a more comprehensive systems. Human capacity training can be provided to build this capacity. Cambodia and Myanmar, who are currently developing their systems, can be considered for training and capacity building in the emergency medicine system and disaster medicine system.
The aim should be to strengthen the regional capacity of disaster management, especially focusing on the capacity of disaster medicine to mitigate loss and damage.
In the future, a more proactive regional cooperation, coordination technical assistance and resource mobilization in all aspects of disaster risk reduction, preparedness and response.
The regional resources should be utilized to better coordinate capacity building and the goal of a comprehensive collaboration system between ASEAN countries.
Normally, the recipient country to receive the FMT, the affected country should coordinate each medical team. But if we the FMAT teams can coordinate each medical team together it’s more useful. They can share information on patients and the situation at large.
A central body, such as the national emergency medical system, can coordinate with the Foreign Medical Teams. And the FMTs can utilize the facilities of other teams if necessary. Such as sharing helicopters when a patient needs an airlift. This is especially useful if there is an injury near a border. Maybe one side that is closer to the victim can consider helping the victim on the border. This type of coordination can help save lives.
Moving forward we need to identify medicine in ASEAN Agenda. We need to coordinate the ideas to include them into concepts in the post 2015 agenda. Next year, a project is planned that will focus on the capacity development of disaster and emergency medicine.
The visions of this plan to develop a network by having a disaster and emergency medicine system in each country and synergize it into a system. Then, to organize the program step by step, build the capacity, and discover what each country can do to help the other.
