Project Description
This project aims to strengthen global health security and enable multi-sectoral and interdisciplinary solutions for major One Health challenges. This includes bioterrorism and deliberate disease events by better connecting disparate stakeholders from global health security sectors. The 7th World One Health Congress (WOHC) occurred in Singapore in November 2022. Southeast Asia remains a hot spot for emerging infectious diseases. The region is home to concentrated population centres with high socio-economic diversity and mobility levels and wide-ranging human and animal health system capacities. It has one of the highest rates of deforestation globally and climate change shifts that impact humans animals and vector ecologies.

Progress & Results Achieved
Results achieved as of January 2023 include: (1) held a conference in Singapore with 2 382 delegates and 300 speakers; (2) 84% of participants surveyed reported advanced knowledge and skills in the "policy environment and biosecurity" track; (3) held 40 networking sessions with 75.7% of participants reported good or excellent network opportunities; and (4) dedicated 100% of conference sessions to infectious diseases and global health security.
