Most frontline civil servants in government departments, who were vested with the responsibility to tackle possible outbreak of Avian Flu, had been arranged to attend the short courses on "Infectious Diseases Control" provided by the Auxiliary Medical Service in 2005. The number of participants had in fact increased from 7 618 in 2004 to 10 845 in 2005. Since a large number of civil servants have already received the training in 2005, the demand by departments for those short courses is expected to decrease in 2006.
