With the support of the Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens (SAGO), the World Health Organization (WHO) has published a global framework to help Member States comprehensively investigate the origins of new and re-emerging pathogens. While there are a number of tools available for investigating infectious disease outbreaks, this is the first unified, structured approach to investigating the origins of a novel pathogen. This framework aims to fill that gap by providing a comprehensive set of scientific investigations and studies. It is the first version of a “how-to” guide that will be updated as and when needed, based on feedback from users. Read More: https://lnkd.in/dykEKHkM “Understanding when, where, how and why epidemics and pandemics begin is both a scientific imperative, to prevent future outbreaks, and a moral imperative for the sake of those who lose their lives to them, This framework provides for the first time comprehensive guidance on the studies that are needed to investigate the origins of emerging and reemerging pathogens. If it had been in place when COVID-19 struck, the quest to understand its origins may have been less contentious and more successful. WHO continues to call on China to share all information it has on the origins of COVID-19, so that all hypotheses can be investigated.” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. #mededgemea #GlobalHealth #WHO #PathogenResearch #PublicHealth #Epidemiology #Biosecurity #OneHealth #HealthFramework

A new interdisciplinary concentration in climate change and planetary health at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health is aimed at preparing students to deal with the consequences of human-caused changes to the climate and the planet, such as extreme weather, the spread of infectious diseases, and negative impacts on food production. Read More: https://lnkd.in/dDTBm_pB “It is clear that the impacts of harming our planet and climate change are among the greatest public health threats we face, Creating a concentration in climate change and planetary health is an important marker at the School to recognize the fact that this isn’t only an engineering or an entrepreneurial or technological issue, but that health really needs to be at the middle of this conversation.” said Gaurab Basu, director of education and policy for Harvard Chan School’s Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment (Harvard Chan C-CHANGE) and an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Health, who co-directs the new concentration along with Christopher Golden, associate professor of nutrition and planetary health. #mededgemea #ClimateChange #PlanetaryHealth #PublicHealth #Harvard #Sustainability #EnvironmentalJustice #HealthEquity #FutureLeaders Christopher Golden Caleb Dresser MD MPH
