One Health -Ecohealth in Vietnam

Since the recent outbreaks of H5N1 and SARS in Vietnam, One Health and Ecohealth have been the key approaches not only in controlling diseases and bringing resources from human and animal health sectors but also in mobilizing the participation of many stakeholders from varied sectors. Currently, communication and exchange between One Health and Ecohealth activities in Vietnam are not occurring frequently. Therefore, we believe that gathering all forces from all of the programs, projects, and initiatives of One Health and Ecohealth in the country would have a greater impact in improving human, animal, environmental health. In this view, we proposed  a briefing for One Health and Ecohealth in Vietnam (OHECO) 

One of the main activities of the OHECO is to publish a quarterly brief that will consist of a focus section, activity highlights, and upcoming events related to One Health and Ecohealth in Vietnam. The first issue will try to map out current activities on One Health and Ecohealth in Vietnam although it is not comprehensive. It also provides information on upcoming events of One Health and Ecohealth.
