Description
Summary:A similar study using a One‐Health approach with an integrated human and animal disease laboratory in Winnipeg, Canada demonstrated cost savings of 26% per year (World Bank, 2012). [...]implementation of One‐Health approach carries a potential for the prevention and control of trans‐boundary zoonotic diseases, such as Avian Influenza, Swine Influenza, SARS, MERS, Q‐fever and COVID‐19 efficiently and cost‐effectively. Often, the public health authority, however, remiss the significance of animal and environmental health sectors, as a result, it has been challenging to control such pandemics. [...]holistic systems of integrating human health, animal health and environment‐related disciplines have not been implemented. [...]we are failing to understand the pivotal role of animal and environmental health sectors to prioritize the “One‐Health” approach. Besides financial resources, human resource investments are required such as in field‐based healthcare workers, epidemiologists, microbiologists, infection prevention scientists and control specialists and veterinarians.
