•   Funding determines
    programs and
    activities.
•   Funds allocated to
    specific agencies for
    specific purposes.
•   Agencies fight for a
    piece of the pie.
•   One Health requires
    inter-agency
    communication and
    cooperation.

•   A need for professionals that span
    human, animal, and environmental health.
•   Schools of public health should offer master’s
    and doctoral degree programs in One Health.
•   In addition to biostatistics and
    epidemiology, subjects would include:
    • food and water safety and security,
    • ecosystem and environmental health,
    • land degradation and urban development,
    • agriculture and sustainability,
    • biodiversity and zoonotic diseases
•   Survey of 4897 physicians and 4144
    veterinarians across 4 U.S. states in
    2003-2004.
•   Response rate: 602 physicians (12%)
    and 1070 veterinarians (26%)
•   Asked if willing to work with
    medical/veterinary medical
    colleagues.
   How often do you communicate with your
    local medical/veterinary medical colleagues
    regarding emergence of any unusual
    human/animal diseases/behaviors that might
    impact humans/animals in your area?

•   If “Never” how interested would you be in
    participating in a forum (e.g. seminar, Internet
    chat site) in which you could exchange such
    information with your veterinary colleagues?

•   “As an ophthalmologist, I would be very
    unlikely to see an infectious disease outbreak
    or other public health calamity.”
•   “…Radiologists do not (usually) contact public
    health professionals.”
•   “As a psychiatrist I rarely or never deal with
    infectious diseases, especially rare ones.”
•   “The lack of interest I have in this is due to the
    massive time constraints I have in trying to
    keep up with diseases/illnesses as well as
    medical/legal with coding issues.”
•   More interaction between veterinary and
    human medical doctors concerning recognition
    and treatment of zoonotic diseases would be
    helpful.”
•   “…It should be mandatory that
    VMDs, DVMs, and MDs attend local seminars
    given on potential public health diseases and
    bioterrorism.”
•   “In general, physicians in clinics and practice
    have little respect for veterinarians and show
    little interest in potential zoonotic diseases.”

Challenges in Implementing One Health Globally

  • 1. Laura H. Kahn, MD, MPH, MPP Research Scholar, Princeton University Co-founder, One Health Initiative GRF One Health Summit 2012 Davos, Switzerland
  • 2. Since 2008, One Health Initiative website has been serving as a global repository for all news and information pertaining to One Health. http://www.onehealthinitiative.com Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in this talk are my own and n necessarily those of my OHI colleagues.

  • 7.
  • 8. UN OIE WHO FAO
  • 9.
  • 10. Funding determines programs and activities. • Funds allocated to specific agencies for specific purposes. • Agencies fight for a piece of the pie. • One Health requires inter-agency communication and cooperation.

  • 19. A need for professionals that span human, animal, and environmental health. • Schools of public health should offer master’s and doctoral degree programs in One Health. • In addition to biostatistics and epidemiology, subjects would include: • food and water safety and security, • ecosystem and environmental health, • land degradation and urban development, • agriculture and sustainability, • biodiversity and zoonotic diseases
  • 20.
  • 21. Survey of 4897 physicians and 4144 veterinarians across 4 U.S. states in 2003-2004. • Response rate: 602 physicians (12%) and 1070 veterinarians (26%) • Asked if willing to work with medical/veterinary medical colleagues.
  • 22. How often do you communicate with your local medical/veterinary medical colleagues regarding emergence of any unusual human/animal diseases/behaviors that might impact humans/animals in your area? Never 80% DVM 45% Never2 45% MD 80% 0 50 100
  • 23. If “Never” how interested would you be in participating in a forum (e.g. seminar, Internet chat site) in which you could exchange such information with your veterinary colleagues? 50 DVMs 20% MDs 44% 0 No No
  • 24. “As an ophthalmologist, I would be very unlikely to see an infectious disease outbreak or other public health calamity.” • “…Radiologists do not (usually) contact public health professionals.” • “As a psychiatrist I rarely or never deal with infectious diseases, especially rare ones.” • “The lack of interest I have in this is due to the massive time constraints I have in trying to keep up with diseases/illnesses as well as medical/legal with coding issues.”
  • 25. More interaction between veterinary and human medical doctors concerning recognition and treatment of zoonotic diseases would be helpful.” • “…It should be mandatory that VMDs, DVMs, and MDs attend local seminars given on potential public health diseases and bioterrorism.” • “In general, physicians in clinics and practice have little respect for veterinarians and show little interest in potential zoonotic diseases.”

Editor's Notes

  1. Almost 5 to 1.Not all are accredited. AVMA accredits 45 schools in U.S., Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, West Indies.Somewhere between 192 to 196 countries. Anywhere from 91 to 95 countries lack any veterinary medical schools. 98 countries have organizations that recognize/accredit their medical schools. Only a handful of schools in U.S. share a common campus.ECFVG is not a comprehensive list. Brazil has 46 vet med colleges listed, but as of Sept. 2009, there are more than 108 schools. May be case forOther countries as well.FAIMER: Foundation for the Advancement of International Medical Education and Research.
  2. Veterinarians working in solo or group practices. 77% of them treat pets
  3. Four U.S. states NH, NY, NJ, PA
  4. Vast majority of physicians respondents were subspecialists who felt that these issues were not relevant to their practice.
  5. Western University of the Health Sciences in Southern California
