1st International One Health Congress Melbourne 14-16 Feb 2011

14 February 2011 CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory

Human Health, Animal Health, the Environment and Global Survival.

For the last few years, the One Health concept has brought together experts working in the areas of animal and human disease. One Health has provided a new synthesis for public health and veterinary communities, particularly in the United States of America, Europe and Australia. 

The congress aims to provide an opportunity to think “outside the box” and into the future in order to make recommendations on policy and organisational changes using the underlying science to inform and drive the process.  For the first time, it is envisaged that a global consideration of interrelated issues of animal and human health and the relationship with the environment can take the science to the policy maker and thus drive real and profound change. We see this as setting a pathway that in 10 -15 years will result in a seamless approach to infectious disease management  with both the  resources and those with the skills and knowledge intimately linked.
