Training in Itapúa equips staff to detect fraud and human trafficking
Three Paraguayan institutions — the Ministry of Public Health, the National Civil Aeronautics Directorate (DINAC) and the United States Embassy — conducted specialized training at Teniente Ramón Amín Ayub González International Airport in Capitán Miranda, Itapúa department. The activity focused on raising surveillance standards at the country's main entry points.
The meeting gathered staff from Public Health, DINAC, Migration, Customs and border-surveillance agencies to address three strategic areas: prevention and detection of human trafficking, identification of fraudulent documents and application of the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005).
During the training, tools and procedures were shared so airport officials can spot warning signs, detect irregular documentation and act in a coordinated manner in suspected human-trafficking cases. Cooperation with the U.S. diplomatic representation allowed the incorporation of technical knowledge and response mechanisms for international-risk scenarios.
The strengthening of health protocols is especially relevant with the arrival of travelers from various countries and the hosting of large-attendance events. The Border Surveillance and Control Directorate, linked to the General Directorate of Health Surveillance, indicated that entry points have received reinforced protocols.
The training is part of the institutional preparations for the WRC Rally Paraguay 2026, an event that will draw a significant flow of visitors and international delegations. The inter-institutional strategy aims to respond in a coordinated way to any potential threats.
