Report - A Comparative Analysis of One Health Policies in Asia: Opportunities for Application in British Columbia

Project Description

One Health policies - which integrate human, animal and environmental health - are an emerging concept, gaining traction with the increase in zoonotic diseases and the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 global health pandemic. One Health policies have been shown to strengthen identification, monitoring, and prevention of infectious disease outbreaks, but in British Columbia they have yet to be extensively implemented. The purpose of this project is to obtain a deeper understanding of the various characteristics that are present in the design and implementation of existing One Health policies in Bangladesh, Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong in order to identify best practices that can be applied to the British Columbia context. The overall goal is to inform British Columbia's stakeholders on how they can accelerate One Health implementation within existing health frameworks.
