One Health in the US Webinar Series
Hosted by the One Health Commission and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine
In partnership with the Wilson Center and Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
In light of COVID-19 and previous outbreaks of other zoonotic diseases that pass between animals and humans (Examples: SARS, MERS, HIV Aids, Ebola, Zika etc), leaders at the recent G7 Summit meeting endorsed “strengthening a ‘One Health’ approach across all aspects of pandemic prevention and preparedness.”
There is an emerging need for a better understanding of what One Health is all about. One Health is an approach that recognizes that the health of people, animals and the environment are inextricably interconnected. We cannot have healthy people without healthy animals and we cannot have healthy animals without a healthy environment. (Learn more)
