Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) continue to cause hardship and harm to over one billion people worldwide, burdening individuals, families and communities who are already marginalized and disadvantaged.
This course provides practical ideas, tools, and examples to enable each of us to take One Health action towards the global goal of substantially reducing the burden of NTDs by 2030.
- Describe what One Health is;
- Justify the importance of a paradigmatic shift towards a One Health approach to NTDs;
- Provide some examples of One Health actions that each of us can take;
- Identify how to start and improve the design and implementation of One Health action;
- Acknowledge how to drive sustainable impact, by working with local communities and by unlocking political interest.
One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. By recognizing that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and ecosystems are interdependent, this approach is particularly relevant to Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), which often involve the environment or animals. This course provides information and practical guidance on how to apply One Health action to NTDs, by presenting some of the most common challenges, but also examples of how to successfully overcome them through a transdisciplinary, cross-cutting, and whole-of-society approach.
The target audience of this course is everybody concerned about health issues at the human-animal-environmental interface and, in particular, program managers and anybody else (such as NGOs) involved in NTDs or One Health-related activity at the international, national, and local levels.
Approximate course duration: 3.5 hours.
