Taking action against bird flu in Indonesia

Report

In Central Java, Indonesia, UNICEF has trained 40,000 community educators to warn people about the dangers of avian influenza, or bird flu. The educators will reach out to villagers across the region, informing the population about how to recognize the disease and prevent its spread from birds to humans.

Many Indonesian families live in close proximity to their poultry. When a bird gets sick, it is hazardous for the family. The UNICEF-trained educators in the Central Java outreach campaign are focusing on four simple messages to help them avoid infection:

• Do not touch sick or dead poultry with your bare hands
• Wash your hands with soap and water after contact with poultry
• Separate poultry and humans
• Report to the nearest health clinic if anyone in the family develops fever or other symptoms.
