This World Health Organisation Report recommends using a “One Health” approach for urgent action on the global and growing antimicrobial resistance crisis, tackling it in a way that considers the whole system. In English, French and Spanish. Recommended actions include:
- Phasing out the use of antimicrobials as growth promoters
- Strengthening regulatory frameworks and awareness among stakeholders to encourage responsible use of antimicrobials
- Invest in developing antimicrobial medicines and alternatives to antimicrobials
- Ensure that people who need antimicrobials have access to them, rectifying current inequality in access

Policy Brief Worth Revisiting:
From EcoHealth Alliance and World Bank, 2018, “Deadly infectious pandemics will mark humanity’s future, as they have shaped its past. Neither individual governments nor the global community can entirely prevent the emergence of infectious threats. But we can be much better prepared.” (World Bank, 2017b) See the whole report in the
‘One Health Operation
al Framework’

On Thursday 15 June, the Learned Society of Wales (LSW) published this column by Professor John Wyn Owen FLSW in
The Western Mail
, the Wales daily national newspaper.
…..”At its Annual meetings in Wales (2015) and later Azerbaijan (2016), the IAC [InterAction Council] concluded that public health now needs to be viewed in the wider context of planetary health and that a
‘One Health”
approach - where human health is strongly linked to animal health, food security and the natural environment is required.” This column calls for “Wales and others to set out a more comprehensive health model that provides a pathfinder for “One Health: peoples wellbeing and planetary Health Cymru Wales’ capable of highlighting the health gains for the people of Wales.” Includes references to the
I
AC Dublin One Health Charter
(
