Key Results in One Health Workforce TransformationOver the first 3 years of the project, the One Health Workforce Project has enriched the skills and experiences of human, animal, and environmental health workers.
OPERATIONAL CAPACITY within institutions and organizations to support multisectoral work
Universities are key drivers of change as they educate the future and current One Health workforce and forge partnerships with governments and communities to strengthen national infectious disease capacity through applied research, innovative training, and service work.
Empowering our current and future generations of healthcare workers around the world.
