One Health Capacity Building to Tackle Pandemics
One Health Bangladesh, a multidisciplinary platform dealing with health threats at the human-animal - environmental interface, has been organizing a series of webinars in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The set of webinars is being organized in partnership with Global Health Development (GHD).
The COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to spread across the world and claim life. South Asian countries, including Bangladesh, are facing tremendous challenges to tackle health threats. In many ways, the COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a moving target. One Health approach recognizes the interconnectedness and interdependencies of human-animal in a complex ecosystem. It promotes the multidisciplinary and multisectoral coordination at the local, national, regional, and global level to tackle pandemics like COVID-19.
Join us on Friday the 3rd of July at 9 am Bangladesh time for the 10th weekly interactive webinar on “One Health Capacity Building to Tackle Pandemics". The webinar will focus on capacity building for combating pandemics through multidisciplinary One Health Approach.
