Book excerpt: The Ministry of Health, Malaysia (MOH) and the Department of Veterinary Services, Malaysia (DVS) have been holding annual field simulation exercises since 2006, focusing on outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) involving multiple stakeholders. This exercise is designed to facilitate understanding as well as to review the applicability of SOPs and relevant guidelines in the management of HPAI outbreak. It further aims to identify the strengths and opportunities for improvement in all aspects of outbreak management. This module is an example of possible scenarios of the exercise that depicts a hypothetical outbreak of avian influenza amongst poultry, either commercial or backyard. While there are several specific objectives, the general objective is to enhance and strengthen interagency preparedness and response to HPAI outbreak at all levels.
