The
full scale field simulation exercise was carried out in Jembrana District, Bali Province, Indonesia from 25-27 April 2008.
The simulation involved multiple ministries and agencies across the central,
provincial and district levels of government, and a total of 933
participants, 176 national observers, 14 international observers, and over 70
journalists. Approximately 156 media
outlets reported on the simulation through websites, print media, radio and
television.
The simulation activities over the 3 days covered a
scenario that spanned two months, and included rapid response to an influenza
cluster, escalation of containment activities, and finally the successful
containment of the epicenter. The Ministry of Health, Indonesia has compiled some
lessons learnt from the exercise which could be useful to others.
