Epidemics and pandemics begin and end in communities. When a community detects health threats and responds to them before they spread, a pandemic can be prevented. It is therefore key to equip communities with the right knowledge and tools to prevent, detect and respond to outbreaks. Co-developing prevention and early interventions with communities to prevent and control outbreaks, with the One Health approach, is essential to prevent future epidemics and pandemics. The webinar will feature voices from communities, civil society organizations and academia, to discuss ongoing work and opportunities to strengthen the implementation of One Health within communities, with a view to preventing future epidemics and pandemics.
The webinar featured real-time human interpretation in Arabic, French, Portuguese and
Spanish, complemented by cutting-edge AI-powered simultaneous
interpretation for Chinese, Bengali, Hindi and Russian.
