Lower Mekong Initiative (LMI) – Health Pillar

This initiative created an integrated sub-regional cooperation among the five Lower Mekong countries to serve as a platform to address complex, transnational development and policy challenges in the Lower Mekong sub-region.

It encourages policies and programs that support public health, with an emphasis on cross-cutting and transnational issues through:

  • Prevention, detection and mitigation of the impact of Communicable and Infectious Diseases;
  • Prevention and control of counterfeit as well as substandard medications;
  • Implementation of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Health Regulations (IHR);
