While regional health cooperation in Asia has come a long way since the 2003 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome crisis and the establishments of regional frameworks in East Asia in fighting pandemics and infectious diseases, more can certainly be done to improve collective efforts to deal with emerging health issues such as climate-related diseases and antimicrobial resistance, as well as rising incidence of non-communicable diseases. The expanding regional and global health agenda should compel ASEAN to work closer toward a more comprehensive human security approach to health—one that does not prioritise pandemics over other health threats, while continuing to strengthen public health systems.
