'One Health' is an approach in which multiple sectors communicate and work together to achieve better public health outcomes. The One Health approach is particularly relevant includes the control of zoonoses (diseases that can spread between animals and humans, such as avian flu, rabies and Rift Valley Fever). A One Health approach is key to the management of shared threats for future outbreaks and pandemics at the human-animal-environment interface.
Three new courses are now available on the OpenWHO One Health Channel, allowing learners from around the globe to explore principles and best practices for a One Health approach for zoonotic diseases. The first course introduces the critical role of international frameworks to help human and animal health sectors ‘bridge’ their work to meet shared goals for disease preparedness and response. Once learners understand the role of collaborative work in their country context, they can then explore the practical approaches set forth in the Tripartite Zoonoses Guide and its operational tools. |  |
The second course offering on the One Health
channel allows learners to explore and navigate the
technical chapters of the Tripartite Zoonoses Guide in
more depth, using country examples to propel their
learning to the next level. And finally, a training for
implementers is available for those interested in
using the Joint Risk Assessment operational tool to
asses and manage zoonotic diseases hazards at
national and subnational levels.
Join us today and begin exploring the principles and best practices for a One Health approach in countries!
