The present document is a collection of national studies done in Cambodia, China, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Mongolia and Vietnam, as the first activity at the national level. In each country, a national workshop was organized to review the study, and discuss future strategies involving multi-sectoral stakeholders, not only officials from ministries of health, but also ones of non-health sectors, such as finance, economy, planning, labour and social welfare. The recommendations produced at the meeting are also included at the end of this document as an annex.
