Информация о курсе

Overview: A multidisciplinary and multisectoral collaboration, through a One Health approach is required to effectively prepare for, detect, assess, and respond to emerging and endemic zoonotic diseases. However, during outbreaks of zoonosis, countries usually have limited time to organize the response. If no operational framework is in place, each sector tends to work independently.

In this online course participants will explore concepts of coordinated response to manage zoonotic disease outbreaks. The course will go into details of the perspectives of animal health and public health services and foster a better understanding of the diverse perspectives of different stakeholders during an outbreak response. Participants may reflect on several examples of national coordination at the human-animal-environment interface.
