Important One Health questionnaire!

We are making the same pandemic mistakes as we did in 2020- testing, communication, politics, and an inattention to health equity and vulnerable communities.🤦🏽♂️ My comments to @BusinessInsider 👇🏽 https://lnkd.in/gWfChjsh

The Quadripartite (WHO-FAO-WOAH-UNEP) has selected me for the One Health High Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) phase 2. https://lnkd.in/eY44hjcw Let me know if you have inputs.

Are world health systems prepared or preparing for future pandemics? Are the necessary investments in place to protect people and communities, especially those who are excluded or marginalized? Will cooperation ensure lives are protected everywhere? Is science prevaling and are State and non-State actors continuing to tackle misinformation and disinformation? Are actions being enforced to support health workers? Acknowledging the lessons from the past is crucial as we look into the present and future.

Focus on One Health governance in Eastern and Southern Africa   🗓️ June 28 June 2024 🕰️ 13:00 - 14:00 (CEST),   ✨ Governance structures determine if policymaking is siloed or uses a joined-up One Health approach. Capacitating One Health in Eastern and Southern Africa ( COHESA) is expanding the use of One Health approaches in 12 countries focusing on governance, research and education, knowledge sharing and delivery. Implemented by national partners and supported by International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), and  CIRAD, baseline assessments have been conducted in each country to assess their current One Health status.

January is One Health Awareness Month. The One Health approach addresses major health problems situated at the intersections of human, animal, and environmental health. From the relationship between pollution and asthma rates, to the effect of human diets on ecosystems, to the impact of the use of antibiotics in livestock on the effectiveness of treatments for infections in humans, an understanding of our connections to the environment and other animals is critical to promoting health and well-being worldwide. At the One Health Trust, we work to live up to our name. We conduct One Health research, promote One Health education, run One Health initiatives, and spread awareness of One Health issues through our various communications projects.

From the Frontline with guest, Carles Fabrega, MD of Human Health Division, HIPRA. Carles Fàbrega and Edward Kelley discuss the One Health agenda. One Health focuses on the connection between human and animal health and its implications for issues like antimicrobial resistance, vaccine development, and epidemics in the future. Listen here: https://hubs.li/Q02t1p4x0 One Health is a concept that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. It emphasizes collaboration and communication between multiple sectors, such as human health, animal health, agriculture, environment, and wildlife, to achieve optimal health outcomes for all. The One Health approach recognizes that the health of humans, animals, and the environment are interdependent and that addressing health issues in one sector can have positive impacts on the others. This approach is particularly important in addressing zoonotic diseases, which are diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans. #globalhealth #globalhealthcare #onehealth #humanhealth #vaccinedevelopment #antimicrobialresistance Paul Rutter Russell (Bo) Kowalczyk PJ Kim Morgan Amsler Yaw Addai-Brenyah Ginny Simpson Flora Koska

Pandemic preparedness and response challenges in the United States, which could have global consequences: “One of the big open questions in my mind is whether there’s only been one human case because we haven’t surveyed widely enough or whether that is a true reflection of incidence,” said Caitlin Rivers, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security who was a founding associate director of the CDC’s Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics." ... "The resistance of dairy farmers is emblematic of the trust gap between key agriculture players in both red and blue states and federal health officials — one that public health experts fear could hamper the nation’s ability to head off the virus’ threat to humans." [Explanatory notes for those outside the US: 1) it may be hard to believe but the fact is that CDC has to be invited by a state to do any public health investigation in that state; 2) "red and blue states" refers to the way US television news programs use election day maps that show Republican dominated states as red and Democrat-dominated states as blue] ... https://lnkd.in/ehkyBNWk

🚨 The Director-General of the World Health Organization has declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern under the International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR). 🌍 This declaration underscores the importance of strengthening One Health systems for pandemic preparedness, increasing society's resilience to disease outbreaks, and ensuring the health of people, animals, and ecosystems. 📑 In this insightful article, Dr Gabrielle Laing, our Senior Policy Advisor on One Health, examines the case for, and benefits of, a One Health approach to strengthen everyday health systems.

I have some news for you. Check below and drop what you think about this in the comments section 👇 WHO NEWS BRIEF Thursday, 29 February 2024 NEWS RELEASE Leaders call for scale-up in implementing One Health approach Geneva, 29 February 2024 -- Adopting a One Health approach that recognizes the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment offers promising solutions for addressing unprecedented challenges. Speaking at the Second Quadripartite Executive Annual Meeting in Nairobi, Kenya today, WHO’s Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: “We need sustained political will to ensure One Health principles are embedded in national and international policies. Implementation in countries; resource mobilization; science and evidence; and political will. These are the four priorities that we must pursue together in the year ahead.” Leaders of the four organizations of the Quadripartite collaboration on One Health -- the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the UN Environment Programme, the World Health Organization, and the World Organisation for Animal Health have worked together to advance the One Health approach worldwide. In the meeting today, the organizations reaffirmed their commitment to further enhance the plan’s policy impact and mobilize sustainable resources to support One Health implementation at all levels. The One Health Joint Plan of Action launched in 2022 is designed to integrate systems and capacity so that we can collectively better prevent, predict, detect, and respond to health threats. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to improve the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment, while contributing to sustainable development. The newly launched One Health Joint Plan of Action Implementation Guide is a cornerstone of the global efforts, providing practical guidance for translating One Health theory into action. The One Health High Level Expert Panel collated existing resources and tools developed the One Health inventory list for the Guide. “The ultimate goal and value of our One Health collaboration lie in effecting positive changes at the country level,” said Dr Amina Benyahia, Head a.i. WHO One Health Initiative. “By empowering countries, strengthening health systems, and fostering cross-sectoral collaboration, we have the opportunity to drive transformative change from the ground up to achieve improved health and well-being globally.” Related links: Director's Speech: 2nd Quadripartite Executive Annual meeting in Nairobi (who.int) One health joint plan of action (‎2022‒2026)‎: working together for the health of humans, animals, plants and the environment (who.int)
