Focusing on the imperative of integrating science, policy and clinical practice to advance the global One Health movement, post-COVID-19, Congress will feature exchanges of leading scientists and policymakers on how to address complex global fitness challenges.
SINGAPORE, Nov. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The 7th One Health World Congress (WOHC), the world’s leading occasion to advance the One Health agenda, kicked off at Sands Expo
The five-day convention organized through the SingHealth Duke-NUS Institute of Global Health of Singapore (SDGHI) under the auspices of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Center has as its theme “Integrating Science, Policy and Clinical Practice: A Unique Post-COVID-19 Health Imperative. “. “‘.

With the Temasek Foundation as Pinnacle’s sponsor, this is the first WOHC to take a position as a user after the COVID-19 outbreak, and will provide a critical platform to publicize multi-sector efforts and collaboration.
“We’ve traveled a long and complicated journey, learning many COVID-19 classes in combination. Perhaps the most important lesson about our interconnectedness is that we want to harness it well and early, to the most productive of our advantage,” said Mdm. President, noting that collaboration is a key aspect of the One Health technique and vital in global fitness preparedness efforts. “We will have to work together not only when a crisis develops, but we will try to stay ahead through strong collaborations and preparations, even in peacetime. “

“About 70% of all emerging pathogens have a zoonotic source. Irresponsible land use, deforestation and climate replace the threat of new pathogens spreading from wildlife and domestic animals to humans. Indeed, we can only make the world safer if we confront the underlying drivers of epidemics and pandemics,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization. “Last month, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the United Nations Environment Programme, the World Health Organization and the World Organization for Animal Health introduced the One Health joint action plan to integrate and coordinate our paintings on humans, animals and animals. and agricultural fields and environmental sectors. WHO remains committed to helping all countries stay informed about COVID-19 classes and move towards a healthier, safer and fairer world.
“We want to relate to the environment and how we deal with the emergence and spread of pathogens. The most effective way is to publicize prevention aimed at implementing preventive measures to prevent the transmission of zoonotic diseases from animals to humans,” said Dr. Stuart. Monique Eloit, Director-General of the World Organization for Animal Health. “The quadripartite joint action plan on occupational fitness can only consult the implementation of the occupational fitness technique in the animal, human and environmental sectors and at all levels. The occupational fitness provisions in the new pandemic tool being negotiated recently among member countries also deserve to be consulted.
The Congress will see more than 120 speakers from more than 60 countries share their wisdom and concepts across disciplines. Highlights come with a panel discussion on “operationalization, systems coordination, and the science-policy nexus,” as well as a keynote address on “catalytic philanthropy and its role in pandemic preparedness” through Dr. Chris Elias, Chair of the Global Development Division, Bill
“As the world emerges from COVID-19, our collective resilience to long-term global fitness challenges is critical for clinical communities, policymakers and clinicians,” said Associate Professor Tan Hiang Khoon, co-chair of the WOHC 2022 Steering Committee and Director of SDGHI. “The 7th One Health World Congress will host critical conversations and herald the incorporated regional and global efforts that are imperative to prevent, predict, prepare for and respond to crises and safeguard the long-term sustainable and healthy of our planet.

The program provides a platform for strategic discussions and close networking opportunities among policymakers, fitness officials and scientists in the region interested in other disciplines that add zoonotic diseases, biomonitoring studies and antimicrobial resistance, preparedness and reaction to emerging global problems. Fitness threats.
“Asia urgently wants to build its capacity to be able to respond to any outbreak that may pose a major risk to the lives and livelihoods of its people,” said Mr. Lim Hock Chuan, Program Director of the Array Temasek Foundation. “One of the most important lessons learned from the pandemic is that we want to collaborate and share our wisdom to tackle the most urgent physical challenges.
