内容和框架
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.
目标受众
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.
