Note: Global Health

“33. We will accelerate efforts based on the One-Health approach to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Recognizing the UN Secretary-General’s report on AMR, which was informed by the recommendations of the UN Interagency Coordination Group on AMR and other relevant initiatives, we encourage all stakeholders including international organizations to act and coordinate on those items relevant to their missions that contribute to global efforts to combat AMR. We recognize the need for policy measures for infection prevention and reduction of excessive antimicrobial usage. Further action should be taken to promote stewardship of and access to antimicrobials. Noting the ongoing work done by Global AMR R&D Hub, we will promote R&D to tackle AMR. We call on interested G20 members and Global AMR R&D Hub to analyze push and pull mechanisms to identify best models for AMR R&D and to report back to relevant G20 Ministers.”

“...This paper advances a case for considering establishment of unique DVM/VMD-MD/DO programs in the U.S. and internationally.  Other veterinary medical degree titles exist in other nations, e.g. BVSc, BVM & S, BVetMed (London), VetMB (Cambridge), BVM etc. as well as medical degrees, e.g. MB, MBBS, BMBS, MBChB, MBBCh etc. ...

 ... the authors contend that schools of medicine, veterinary medicine and public health should seriously consider instituting this sea change educational One Health approach within and among appropriate university campuses.  It would help facilitate the established premise of “One Health implementation will help protect and/or save untold millions of lives in our generation and for those to come.”

 Nicolae Manolescu, Virgil Nadolu

One Health Institute for Research on Comparative Medicine within the Academy of Medical Sciences in Romania

“The authors of the present paper are submitting, for the first time, the proposal to endorse, organize and run a European mega-project for the implementation of One Health concept in the above-mentioned space, under the coordination of FEAM, relying on the experience of Romania and the Netherlands as fully-fledged pilot stations of One Health implementation, alongside other European academies of medicine willing to join this initiative.

It goes without saying that the great beneficiaries of this enterprise would be, on the one hand, the citizens of the European Union, and on the other hand, the living environment as a whole, together with its biotic and abiotic factors....”
