This virtual meeting will examine ways to systemize and integrate the One Health approach as part of outbreak prevention, detection, preparedness, and response efforts. The workshop will explore research opportunities, multi-sectoral collaboration mechanisms, community engagement strategies, educational opportunities, and policies that can effectively implement the core capacities and interventions of One Health principles to strengthen national health systems and enhance global health security.

Session 3 will take place Thursday, 25 February 2021 from 10:00am – 1:00pm EST. The third and final day will focus on the future – what capacities do we need to build down the line to ensure global health security?
