FROM ONE HEALTH PLATFORM TO GLOBAL ONE HEALTH COMMUNITY


One Health Platform was founded at the third international One Health Congress in Amsterdam in 2015.
Today in 2022, we are proud to announce that the One Health Platform changed its name and extended its vision to an all-encompassing participation, towards a global One Health Community.

OUR OBJECTIVES


  • Promote a cross-sectoral and collaborative approach to improve the health and well-being of humans, animals and their environments
  • Foster scientific research into zoonoses and vector-borne infectious diseases
  • Create synergies and facilitate the sharing of data between researchers
  • Disseminate and ‘translate’ novel scientific findings to anyone who might benefit from them
  • Develop the most appropriate communication tools to convey these novel scientific findings and to communicate widely on One Health issues
  • Training of young researchers
  • Stakeholder communication
  • Advocate for a One Health approach
  • Facilitate the science and policy interface

OUR MOTIVATION


  • Answering persistent and urgent One Health needs
  • The creation of an integrated approach to combat different types of health threats by facilitating the network of community stakeholders:
    • (re-)emerging viruses
    • antiviral and antimicrobial resistance
    • bacterial and parasitic infections
  • Shared concern and understanding that as transborder mobility of humans, animals, food, and feed products increases, so does the threat of the spread of dangerous pathogens and infectious diseases
  • The need to educate and train the next generation of One Health experts
  • The need for a framework for information sharing, detecting and mending knowledge gaps and crosssectoral cooperation
