The Asia-Europe Foundation Public Health Network (ASEF PHN), funded by the Government of Japan, was officially launched at the 9th Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Hanoi, Viet Nam in 2009. ASEF PHN is a participatory platform which encourages public health dialogue across Asia and Europe. It provides space and opportunities for health and non-health sector representatives to share their knowledge and experience to combat Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIDs). The exchange facilitates partnerships between multi-level actors from governments, international organisations, corporations, academia, non-profit organisations and the media.

The objective of the ASEF PHN projects is to promote Asia-Europe and multi-sectoral intellectual exchange on public health and related fields, with a focus on the COVID-19 pandemic and other emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). Its projects include research, workshops, meetings, public briefings and training. The network is also considered to be a key player in the field of public health – in June 2021, ASEF PHN has become a member of the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA).

For the past few years, the focus of ASEF PHN has been on pandemic preparedness and response, including risk communications for public health emergencies (one of the 8 core capacities under IHR) and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). ASEF PHN is planning to continue working on equally relevant topics over the next few years, mostly through meetings/online events targeting public health officers, other government officials, relevant NGOs and international organisations, such as World Health Organisation (WHO).
