1. SEA Regional Health Update
CSRU, SEARD

2. Recommendation from 2012
Clarification to be made with NSs leadership as it appears that there is some misunderstanding about Integration.
Head of health of all National societies will attend upcoming RDMC to observe.
NSs (PMI, CRC, etc.) suggested Formation of Regional Health Management Committee by next RDMC.
Disaster Management focal person should attend Regional health meetings.
ART network should function as a part of regional health network since HIV is mainstreamed. HIV becomes sub-group.
The proposed integration does not refers to structural integration but to integrated cross-sectoral risk reduction planning
As health & Care working group chair, VNRC Health Director will make a presentation at RDMC.

3. Recommendation from 2012
Master Trainer for CBHFA should be organized including NCD module
IFRC needs to place more emphasis upon the standardisation and harmonisation of PMER tools and CBHFA PMER tools needs to be revised
Many National Societies (PMI, LRC, MRCS, TRC, CRC, etc...) showed keen interest developing PSS capacities.

13. Leadership meeting 2013 – Leaders’ Response
RDMC and RHWG needs to focus on tangible ways of better cooperation.
The Working Group on Health should also consider how the SEA RCRC can be better prepared to play a valuable role in the event of a health crisis in the region, e.g. SARS, Bird flu, etc.
Review and finalize the Terms of Reference of working group.
SEA NSs should further enhance cooperation with ASEAN and the need to continue to pursue the goal of concluding a Cooperation Framework (CF) with ASEAN.
Come up with a clearer, more specific recommendation on support needed

14. Way Forward -Recommendations
RHWG
Cohesively define health priority and Capacity building for SEA NSs.
Mapping of Regional health resources
Information and resources sharing: SEA NSs actively discuss and contribute in mutually relevant health issues
RHWG members finalize RHWG ToR
Contribute in SEA regional integrated roadmap
Enhancing partnership
Towards Resilience
Joint planning and coordination among RHWG and RDMWG
Enhanced cooperation and collaboration at country level to reach common goal
