One Health emphasizes the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and ecosystems. This session explores the role of animal health, wildlife surveillance, land-use change, and biodiversity in preventing zoonotic diseases such as avian influenza, rabies, and coronaviruses.
Participants will explore cross-sectoral collaborations, environmental policy, veterinary public health frameworks, and innovations in zoonotic outbreak prediction.
The topic is essential because 60–70% of new infectious diseases originate from animals. Highlighting this topic emphasizes the need for integrated approaches to prevent future pandemics.
