- The conference was preceded by eight workshops simultaneously on topics like leadership management, data management, specimen collection and referral, One Health, biosafety and biosecurity among others.
- The conference participants and speakers were unanimous in the fact that for One Health to be achieved, all stakeholders had to work together, from the environment to food safety, agriculture and health experts. https://bit.ly/2kVUnY4

Substantial consensus building for One Health public health practice has already been done by WHO, FAO, OIE, US CDC, and other partners and many African countries have conducted disease prioritization workshops and initiated programmes for surveillance and control of specific zoonotic diseases. While NPHIs serve the human health sector, this One Health Forum will ensure adequate representation from animal and environmental sectors to reach balanced recommendations for prioritization, surveillance, and risk assessment. https://bit.ly/2mrxEUd

Provides a multidisciplinary reflection on the state of our planet, human and animal health, as well as the critical effects of climate change on the environment and on people. Climate change is already affecting many poor communities and traditional aid programs have achieved relatively small gains. Going beyond the narrow disciplinary lens and an exclusive focus on human health, a planetary health approach puts the ecosystem at the centre.
