One Health Concept: The What?

4

• The collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines, working locally, nationally and globally, to attain optimal health for people, animals and the environment (AVMA, 2008)

• A global strategy for expanding interdisciplinary collaborations and communications in all aspects of health care for humans, animals and the environment

Page 5: The One Health in Health and Outbreak Saharan Africa · NCDC : CoVID19 EOC Epidemiology/ Surveillance: NFETP Alert , Investigation, and Response Contact Tracing and Monitoring: NFELTP

One Health Approach: The How?

5

• Innovative strategy to promote multi‐sectoral and interdisciplinary application of knowledge and skills of medical, public health, veterinary and environmental experts by working together to address human, animal and environmental health challenges

One Medicine

Page 6: The One Health in Health and Outbreak Saharan Africa · NCDC : CoVID19 EOC Epidemiology/ Surveillance: NFETP Alert , Investigation, and Response Contact Tracing and Monitoring: NFELTP

One Health Approach: The Why?

• Health of animals, people and the viability of ecosystems inextricably linked

• Intensity of human‐animal interactions increase  emerging and re‐emerging diseases risks or health problems

• Many determinants of health outcomes are outside the health sector

• Policies and actions in multiple sectors have implications for health outcomes

Why One Health: Emerging Health Risks  

Page 8: The One Health in Health and Outbreak Saharan Africa · NCDC : CoVID19 EOC Epidemiology/ Surveillance: NFETP Alert , Investigation, and Response Contact Tracing and Monitoring: NFELTP

Priority Public Health Threats needing One Health Approach

• Priority public health threats addressed using the One Health Approach include: – Emerging and re‐emerging zoonotic and infectious diseases of epidemic and pandemic potential

– Antimicrobial resistance (AMR)– Pollutants and environmental contaminants– Food safety and dietary health risks– Bio‐security issues : Bioterrorism & Biohazards

Historical Perspectives: Animal Disease Control Measures .. 1762 ‐ education about mgt. of diseases 

in livestock

• Lancisi recommended that all ill and suspect animals be destroyed and buried in lime

• Principles were a milestone in controlling the spread of contagious diseases in animals– Safe burial in VHDs – Ebola, Marbug, Lassa

Page 10: The One Health in Health and Outbreak Saharan Africa · NCDC : CoVID19 EOC Epidemiology/ Surveillance: NFETP Alert , Investigation, and Response Contact Tracing and Monitoring: NFELTP

Historical Perspectives: One Health in the 19th

Century .. Coined the term ‘Zoonosis’

• Rudolf Virchow (1821‐1902), a German physician and pathologist said, “between animal and human medicine there are no dividing lines‐‐nor should there be.”

Page 11: The One Health in Health and Outbreak Saharan Africa · NCDC : CoVID19 EOC Epidemiology/ Surveillance: NFETP Alert , Investigation, and Response Contact Tracing and Monitoring: NFELTP

Historical Perspective: Zoonosis

• 1980's, epidemiologist Calvin Schwabe called for a unified human and veterinary approach to combat zoonotic diseases, providing the modern foundation for One Health

• Concept waned in 20th Century but resurfaced in the 21st Century with emerging and re‐emerging zoonotic infectious diseases

One Health Surveillance

• The concept seeks to detect potential or existing risks that originate at the “human‐animal‐environmental” interface

• Pet surveillance should be part of public health surveillance

• Animals as sentinels: infections, poisoning ‐ Pb, Hg

Establishing National One Health Platforms: USAID P&R Project, 2015 ‐ 2019

USAID‐DAI‐AFENET: Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania

• Convening meetings of line ministries and departments

• Facilitating the development of national One Health framework

• Coordinating the development of joint OH strategic plans 

• Monitoring implementation of national plans

One Health Technical Report, West African States, Senegal 2016 …1

• Demonstrate commitment and ownership of the One Health approach by an internal budgetary allocation dedicated to this approach and planned activities; 

• Systematically enlarge FELTP  to animal health and environmental health professionals and embark on a coordinated capacity‐building programme

• Establish integrated surveillance systems with due consideration for human health and animal health 

• Establish ICT‐based platforms (cyber‐surveillance) with emphasis on community surveillance to strengthen information systems within and between the human and animal sectors 41

Page 42: The One Health in Health and Outbreak Saharan Africa · NCDC : CoVID19 EOC Epidemiology/ Surveillance: NFETP Alert , Investigation, and Response Contact Tracing and Monitoring: NFELTP

One Health Technical Report, West African States, Senegal 2016 …2

• Establish obligatory mechanism for the maintenance of infrastructure and equipment to ensure that public health and animal health laboratories function on a permanent basis  

• Institute common mechanisms in agriculture, public health and animal health sectors to jointly assess risks, regularly plan, monitor Antimicrobial resistance and apply corrective measures

• Implement One Health approach at all levels, particularly community level, placing emphasis on strengthening the technical and community engagement capacities of staff 

• Promote the multi‐sectoral approach with effective involvement of private sector, civil society, defence, security forces, technical and financial partners, academic institutions in OH Governance

42

Page 43: The One Health in Health and Outbreak Saharan Africa · NCDC : CoVID19 EOC Epidemiology/ Surveillance: NFETP Alert , Investigation, and Response Contact Tracing and Monitoring: NFELTP

Conclusion & Next Steps• Traditionally, health systems are compartmentalized 

into silos or sectors• No individual sector can fully address emerging health 

risks or threats• Properly implemented, One Health approach will 

protect and save millions of lives, ensure food security, promote safe environment, facilitate economic growth

• Establishing One Health platforms e.g zoonotic disease unit in MoHwill ensure coordinated OH efforts in surveillance, prevention, detection and response 

• All stakeholders to continue promoting One Health  approach in workforce capacity and field operations
