One Health PACT Annual Meeting 2023
Programme
Friday 15 December 2023
“A One Health approach makes public health sense, economic sense and common sense,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “It’s obvious that we can only protect and promote the health of humans by protecting and promoting the health of animals, and the planet on which all life depends. We welcome the increasing political consensus on One Health globally, and we are committed to supporting countries to translate the One Health concept into action that makes a difference.”
We are delighted to welcome you to this year’s annual meeting on 15 December, where we will delve into the One Health approach and its significance in the realm of public health.
This annual meeting provides us with a valuable opportunity to strengthen our commitment to the One Health approach. We look forward to engaging discussions and collaborative problem solving that will enhance our efforts and impact.
