H5N1 News: Vietnam asks for bird flu support
An AP newswire article, via CNN, reports that:
Vietnam said Monday it needs tens of millions of dollars to fight the spread of bird flu as disaster coordinators from Pacific rim nations met in Australia to hammer out ways to stop emerging diseases skipping across the region's borders.
Vietnam's Vice Minister of Agriculture Bui Ba Bong said the country needs US$50 million (euro41 million) and help building up its stockpile of bird flu drugs as it struggles to keep a lid on the virus.
