One Health Day 2016

On November 3, USAID’s Preparedness & Response project is celebrating globally the first annual One Health Day. In Uganda, we worked with the government to launch their One Health Platform. In Thailand, we held a One Health conference, with government leaders and civil society partners, to discuss the future of One Health. We’re also sharing the video below, on what One Health means in preventing, detecting, and responding to emerging disease threats.
