One Health and the Politics of Antimicrobial Resistance

By *Laura H. Kahn, MD, MPH, MPP

Zoonoses—infectious diseases, such as SARS and mad cow, that originate in animals and spread to humans—reveal how intimately animal and human health are linked. Complicating this relationship further, when livestock are given antibiotics to increase growth, it can lead to resistant bacteria. Unfortunately, there are few formal channels for practitioners of human medicine and veterinary medicine to communicate about threats to public health. To address this problem, Dr. Laura H. Kahn and her colleagues are promoting the One Health concept, which seeks to increase communication and collaboration between professionals in human, animal, and environmental health. …

DGHI-Led Research Team Brings Life-Saving Rapid Flu Diagnostics to Mongolia

Published on Feb 12, 2016

Physician Greg Gray, MD, MPH Duke University professor of global health, infectious diseases and environmental sciences, has set up a remote research outpost in Mongolia that could detect the next global infectious disease pandemic.

Gray and his Mongolian colleagues are collaborating in a NIH (Fogarty International Center)-funded project that brings rapid influenza diagnostic equipment to rural areas where previously health professionals had to send samples to the national capitol and wait up to two weeks for results.

“This project will certainly help preserve the health of Mongolian people and their animals, and could potentially save lives,” said Gray. “In addition, we are bringing a new level of rigor to medical research in Mongolia, which is important to building capacity in the country’s health sector.”

‘One Health Global Think-Tank for Sustainable Health & Well-being’:

Laaser U, Lueddeke G, Nurse J. The One Health Global Think Tank for Sustainable Health & Well-Being – 2030 (GHW-2030 (Short Report). SEEJPH 2016, posted: 19 April 2016. DOI 10.4119/UNIBI/SEEJPH-2016- 114 1

Editorial comment

Launch of the ‘One Health Global Think-Tank for Sustainable Health & Well-being’ – 2030 (GHW-2030)

The adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the UN General Assembly in September 2015 opens a new era for global, regional, national and local initiatives to ensure the well-being and sustainability of the planet and people (1). The South Eastern European Journal of Public Health (SEEJPH) published several papers (Volumes 2,3,5) on the UN Global Goals (2, 3, 4). In addition, Prof Ulrich Laaser and Prof Vesna Bjegovic Mikanovic established together with Dr George Lueddeke a global think-tank on „Global Health, Governance, and Education‟ (5) to help inform the writing of the Epilogue of Dr Lueddeke‟s recent book entitled Global Population Health and Well-Being in the 21st Century – Towards New Paradigms, Policy, and Practice (6). In continuation of this process we worked with Dr. Joanna Nurse, head of the Commonwealth* Secretariat Health and Education Unit (HEU) (7, 8) and collectively founded the One Health Global Think Tank for Sustainable Health & Well-being – 2030‟ (GHW-2030).

A synopsis of the think-tank’s remit and membership is set out below. The summary is followed by a background paper outlining the GHW-2030 rationales, particularly in light of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (9), and the pressing need to incorporate holistic One World, One Health values, principles and practice (10, 11) - as these relate to environmental, social, economic and geopolitical spheres - with a view to guiding associated frameworks (12, 13), policies and enabling strategies. A listing of current GHW-2030 members and affiliations is also provided.
