Connecting Human, Animal and Environmental Health

Zoonotic infections are not unique to resource-limited countries, but rapid population growth, changes in climate and land use and humans' close proximity to infected animals . One Health recognizes the intertwined relationship between the human, animal and environmental health sectors.

GPHP's body of One Health work includes programs in South Asia and in Africa, where GPHP has implemented initiatives to:

• Develop, deliver and institutionalize training/educational offerings aligned with prioritized One Health core competencies and technical skills.
• Train laboratories on disease surveillance protocols and equip them to survey disease burden for priority pathogens.
• Collaborate with governmental agencies and national laboratories to strengthen surveillance governance and action plans.
• Support and expand existing AMR and antimicrobial use (AMU) surveillance in animals and humans.
• Support early career scientists in addressing priority areas of surveillance, epidemiology, laboratory quality management and advanced diagnostic testing.

Stories and Partnerships

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most significant global threats of our time. Because antimicrobial resistance genes are incredibly promiscuous, circulating through humans, animals and the environment, we are focused on raising awareness of AMR in the context of One Health. We support a number of programs that evaluate how antimicrobial use in animals is contributing to the development of resistance.
