.
The event, which was slightly delayed from the official date for the celebration of the International One Health, was organized by the colleagues Luis Carlos Villamil and Natalia Cediel, Grupo de Epidemiología y Salud Pública, Fac. Medicina Veterinaria (https://www.lasalle.edu.co/medicina-veterinaria) to bring together professionals, students and stakeholders to share thoughts on how One Health approach
could contribute to sustainable development within the peace process presently going on in Colombia.
It was a good opportunity to divulgate the activities carried out by NEOH and present
the opportunities for International collaboration offered by COST.
The following topics were presented:
FIRST RESULTS FROM THE JOINT NEOH AND EURNEGVEC EUROPEAN SURVEY TO EXPLORE THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN HUMAN, ANIMAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SECTORS IN EU COST MEMBER COUNTRIES, ASSOCIATED AND NEAR-NEIGHBOUR COUNTRIES”
and
“ONE HEALTH APPROACH” IN DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION PROJECTS – USE OF ACARICIDES TO CONTROL TICKS IN AFRICA: IMPLICATIONS IN PUBLIC HEALTH & ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH “ (this is one of the NEOH case study which was evaluated, and submitted for publication to Frontiers in Public Health).
