Keeping Avian Flu from Taking FlightISRAEL21c February 26 2006 SummaryThis article discusses the importance of regional cooperation and coordination in dealing with outbreaks of avian influenza. It chronicles Dr. Bina Rubinovitch, an Israeli expert in infectious diseases who was part of a team of six professionals sent, by the World Health Organization (WHO), to Turkey to assist with combating and controlling the spread of avian flu in that country. The team was part of the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), a collaboration of existing institutions and networks that pool technical and human resources to keep the international community aware and alert to the threat of outbreaks. The success of the GOARN team was largely attributed to the importance that was placed on regional cooperation, information sharing and communication, as well as to the importance placed on matching the real needs of the country with the skills of the people chosen to go.
