The National Institute of Health (NIH) has launched a three-day One Health Zoonotic Disease Prioritization (OHZDP) workshop.
\nThe aim was to strengthen coordination among human health, animal health and environmental sectors for addressing zoonotic diseases and emerging public health threats in Pakistan.
\nThe workshop has brought together experts and stakeholders from all provinces and regions of the country to develop a coordinated approach to identifying and addressing priority zoonotic diseases.
\nThe initiative is being led by the One Health Secretariat at the NIH under the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination (MoNHSR&C), marking an important step towards strengthening multisectoral collaboration and public health preparedness in the country.
\nThe OHZDP process aims to bring together stakeholders from human health, veterinary and environmental sectors to identify and prioritize zoonotic diseases that pose significant risks to public health.
\nThe approach recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health and promotes coordinated strategies to prevent, detect and respond to disease threats.
\nThe workshop is supported by the Pandemic Fund Grant and is being conducted in collaboration with provincial governments, One Health stakeholders and other partners to strengthen Pakistan\u2019s capacity to address zoonotic diseases and enhance health security.
\nThe One Health approach emphasizes that protecting human health requires coordinated efforts across multiple sectors, particularly in addressing diseases that can spread between animals and humans.
\nThe initiative is expected to contribute to improved coordination, information-sharing and joint planning among relevant institutions across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
