Veterinarian Professionals in Turkmenistan Prepare for Avian Flu
From June 1st-14th, USAID’s Farmer-to-Farmer Program, implemented by Winrock International, organized a series of lectures on practical techniques of laboratory diagnostics of avian flu for specialists from the Turkmenistan State Veterinary Service, its laboratory staff, and scholars from the Agricultural University. This was the first Avian Flu preparedness event targeting veterinary specialists.
Fourteen participants from across Turkmenistan gained specialized information regarding the prevention and control of avian flu. The program was designed to enable participants to transfer newly-learned methodologies to other specialists in their duty stations across the country. Recommendations by the USAID-funded experts will also help the State Veterinary Service to compose a comprehensive system against the threat of avian flu pandemic.
The Government of Turkmenistan expressed its appreciation for the training.
