EPI-WIN digest 2 - Operationalizing the One Health approach in countries to improve preparedness for zoonotic diseases

Overview

Approximately 75% of emerging infectious diseases have an animal origin. Taking a multi-sectoral One Health approach is necessary to address both emerging health threats at the human-animal-environment interface and endemic, and often neglected, diseases.

This EPI-WIN Digest covers how the One Health approach is concretely and operationally implemented in countries, discussing available tools and how they are used by countries to improve preparedness for zoonotic diseases.

For more information, please watch the EPI-WIN webinar Strengthening One Health operations in countries for improved preparedness to emerging zoonotic diseases (July 2023), part of an ongoing EPI-WIN series on One Health.
