European - Southeast-Asian Experts “One Health in Action” workshop_Hanoi, Oct. 13-15, 2014
One Health is a multidisciplinary approach to achieve optimal health for people, animals and the environment through local, regional and global research collaboration. Particularly in Southeast Asia, One Health has gained much more focus due to the rise of cross-species epidemics such as SARS, avian influenza, and Nipah virus. With 70% of emerging diseases being of animal origins, this has become a crucial issue for Southeast Asia due to increasingly high urbanisation rates and dramatic expansion of livestock production. However, implementing One Health research and intervention at local and regional levels is facing many challenges in terms of institutional support, human capacity, and resource availability.
To address these concerns, an expert workshop “From OH Theory to Reality: Practical challenges, impact of OH initiatives and gaps in research” will be held in Vietnam as part of the European Project SEA-EU-NET "ASEAN-EU Cooperation in Science, Technology and Innovation jointly tackling global challenges" (www.sea-eu.net) - a European Union's Seventh Framework Program-funded project which aims at strengthening S&T cooperation between Europe and Southeast Asia.
Technical objectives of the workshop aim at providing information on the proof of concept, the impact/added value of One Health implementation in the field, identifying practical challenges linked to implementation of One Health concept and identifying gaps and needs for One Health research. The workshop will cover 3 main topics: 1) One Health surveillance; 2) One Health/EcoHealth research at the wildlife/domestic animals/humans interface and 3) Antimicrobial resistance: a One Health challenge.
