AbstractIntroduction:This Supplement is a Report of the Conference convened by the Regional Office for South East Asia (SEARO) of the World Health Organization (WHO). The Conference was a follow-up to the WHO Conference of May 2005 in Phuket, Thailand on the Earthquake and Tsunami of 26 December 2004. The invitational meeting brought together representatives of 11 countries impacted by the events. The goal of the Conference was to produce a plan of action that meets the specific needs of the countries and ensure that the countries of the Region will be better equipped to cope with any future event.Objectives:The objectives of the Conference were to: (1) identify gaps in the health needs of the affected and vulnerable populations for preparedness, responses, recovery, and rehabilitation; (2) determine the next steps in addressing these gaps; and (3) develop benchmarks and a corresponding framework for action that must be achieved to solidify the capacities and capabilities of the health sector to meet emergencies.Methods:Presentations of background papers, panel discussions, and Working Groups were used. Based, in part, on the materials presented, the Working Groups drafted benchmarks that could mark the progress in achieving the overall goal and proposed strategies that could be used to reach the benchmarks. Representatives of the participating countries summarized the current status of their respective countries relative to each of the defined benchmarks.Results:The benchmarks relate to: (1) legal framework for preparedness and response; (2) national disaster plan for preparedness and response; (3) budget; (4) rules of engagement for external actors; (5) community plan based on risk identification and vulnerability assessment; (6)community-based capacities; (7) local capacity for provision of essential services and supplies; (8) awareness and advocacy programs; (9) identification of hazards, risks, and vulnerabilities; (10) education and training; (11) “safe” health facilities; and (12) surveillance and early warning systems.There exists a wide range in the levels of preparedness at all levels in the affected countries particularly at the community level. The country representatives agreed that community-level preparedness, legal frameworks, local and national disaster plans, surveillance and early warning systems, and advocacy and awareness programs demand more attention.The strategies and mechanisms that will facilitate achievement of the benchmarks were grouped into seven categories: (1) monitoring, evaluation, surveillance, and assessments; (2) education and training (human resource development); (3) information and communications; (4) legislation, policies, and authority; (5) funding; (6) planning and preparedness; and (7) coordination and control. Any or all of the strategies suggested could be implemented by the countries in the Region.Conclusion:The Conference delivered an important set of benchmarks and strategies that, when implemented, will facilitate the countries and the communities within them reaching better levels of preparedness and response to future events. Attaining the benchmarks will decrease the number of lives lost and minimize the pain and suffering associated with such events.

In our region, both technological development and international competition, basically from the industrial revolution, we grew to set our effort on education. Education system is an essential foundation to be successful in profession or trade and required to obtain a higher number of complex competencies than previously. This paper aim to discuss about the South-East Asia experience characteristic is connected with harmonized educational drive and the strategy of prioritizing goals in education and training which matched the stage of development.These experiences are related to the aspects highlighted by David Ashton and his colleagues in their study of education and training in East-Asia four tiger countries. Besides, the purpose of this paper Is to investigate the competency-based curriculum, learning needs and educational development based on competency in teacher training program.

Background: To bridge significant mental health treatment gaps, it is essential that the healthcare workforce is able to detect and manage mental health conditions. We aim to synthesise evidence of effective educational and training interventions aimed at healthcare workers to increase their ability to detect and manage mental health conditions in South and South-East Asia.Methods: Systematic review of six electronic academic databases from January 2000 to August 2020 was performed. All primary research studies were eligible if conducted among healthcare workers in South and South-East Asia and reported education and training interventions to improve detection and management of mental health conditions. Quality of studies were assessed using Modified Cochrane Collaboration, ROBINS-I, and Mixed Methods Appraisal Tools and data synthesised by narrative synthesis. Results are reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines. A review protocol was registered with the PROSPERO database (CRD42020203955).Findings: We included 48 of 3,654 screened articles. Thirty-six reported improvements in knowledge and skills in the detection and management of mental health conditions. Training was predominantly delivered to community and primary care health workers to identify and manage common mental health disorders. Commonly used training included the World Health Organization's mhGAP guidelines (n = 9) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (n = 8) and were successfully tailored and delivered to healthcare workers. Digitally delivered training was found to be acceptable and effective. Only one study analysed cost effectiveness. Few targeted severe mental illnesses and upskilling mental health specialists or offered long-term follow-up or supervision. We found 21 studies were appraised as low/moderate and 19 as high/critical risk of bias.Interpretation: In low resource country settings, upskilling and capacity building of primary care and community healthcare workers can lead to better detection and management of people with mental health disorders and help reduce the treatment gap.Systematic Review Registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42020203955.
