About The Event
BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT
We are now in the world where humans and animals are closely related and living in a shared environment. The health of humans is connected to the health of animals and the recent COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us of this intense relationship.
One Health recognizes the interdependencies between different sectors related to health and the integral concept of One Health is promoting communication and collaboration between human, animal and environmental health sectors in response to a public health event.
One Health FETP is an integrated approach aimed at increasing the competencies of the officers to recognize public health threats from different sources. To achieve this goal, the officers need to enhance communication and data sharing between different sectors.
Achieving full integration is not without challenges. Nonetheless, the benefits of adopting a One Health approach outweigh these challenges.
By promoting a “One Health One Team” approach, FETP training has the potential to provide a more effective and holistic approach thus providing a more comprehensive and sustainable and proactive strategy toward wellbeing of humans, animals, wild life and the environment.
