Some Republicans and Democrats in both the US Senate and House of Representatives are agreeing upon one thing; the United States must embrace the One Health collaborative approach in policy. Bipartisan Bills titled “Advancing Emergency Preparedness Through the One Health Act of 2019” were introduced into both the Senate and House last year calling for US agencies and federal departments to establish a national One Health Framework, including a One Health Program to coordinate Federal activities. These Bills have not yet been brought to the floor of either chamber for a vote. https://tinyurl.com/yxljemt7

New FREE Course on Coursera
Created for the public by Laura Kahn, MD, MPH, MPP, Co-Founder of the One Health Initiative pro bono team and research scholar at Princeton University in New Jersey, USA. This interdisciplinary course covers diverse subjects such as basic epidemiology, public health, public policy, basic microbiology, food safety, and security, zoonotic diseases, sanitation and hygiene, antimicrobial resistance, environmental and ecosystem health, and the national and international organizations that oversee health, agriculture, and the environment. Disease outbreaks including Influenza, Q fever, and Ebola will be discussed. While the course was developed and recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic, the concepts learned very much apply to it. This course emphasizes holistic, not siloed, approaches to health, and disease.
