GLOBAL - Public health, animal health and security sectors must speak with one voice on the need to strengthen health systems, according to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).All around the world, animal disease agents, including those transmissible to humans, have the potential to escape by accident from laboratories or to be used as biological weapons because of their wide ranging economic, health and social impacts, their low cost and their ready availability.
The OIE Global Conference on Biological Threat Reduction, held in collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO), brought together key actors from international organisations and national governments to agree on priority actions and common messages. The participants who represented the public health, animal health, ecosytem health, and security sectors included educators, policy and decision makers, scientists, security officers, veterinarians and medical doctors. This 3-day conference focused on enhancing collaboration and on building a consensus for action to strengthen the ability of public and animal health systems to prevent, detect and respond to all biological threats whether they are deliberate, accidental or natural, in particular at the animal source of animal diseases transmissible to humans.
