A One Health Approach to Public Health: A Call to Action

Perspectives & Insights

PROUDLY HOSTED BY

SESSION RECORDING

This session focused on the surveillance and early detection of infectious diseases in animal and water reservoirs through a medical model of care lens. The session highlighted emerging opportunities to leverage technology to collect data and priority areas for collating and disseminating knowledge. Although many speakers highlighted the importance of fostering trans-disciplinary and cross-country collaborations to enhance infectious disease surveillance, the panel was Australia- and CSIRO-centric, demonstrating an almost ironic disconnect between theory and practice.
