The One Health Commission (OHC) and One Health Initiative (OHI) call for an informal global One Health Communications Alliance for a more coordinated Community of Practice
11/09/2022
Presentation by Cheryl Stroud, Executive Director, One Health Commission, of abstract at the 7th World One Health Congress in Singapore. Full implementation of One Health requires both ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’ actions. To assist in the ‘bottom up’ piece of the puzzle, the global community of One Health practitioners needs to be better ‘connected’.
We are ‘not’ calling for yet another non-profit organization, just better ‘communications, collaborations and coordination’ among global One Health stakeholders as called for in the new OHHLEP definition of One Health….to work more closely together for One Health and to provide a more informed, more coordinated, more unified voice for One Health:
- so organizations working for One Health can find each other, discover their commonalities, overlaps, synergies, to join hands and work ‘together’
- to share One Health news from all global regions, all professions – so the right hand of the One Health movement knows what the left is doing – so we can ‘support’ each other’s efforts and become ‘force multipliers’!!!!!
- to share educational, job, and volunteer opportunities
- to speak in a unified voice to the public, to governments, lawmakers and policy makers urging focus on ways to ‘prevent’ infectious disease outbreaks and environmental contamination and degradation
- to engage more social scientists and other disciplines.
