Workshop for the Pilot Testing for the new
Zoonotic Diseases Training Package ‘One Health Initiative’

2-6 August 2010, Bangkok, Thailand

The PHE team will be holding a Workshop for the Pilot Testing for the new Zoonotic Diseases Training Package ‘One Health Initiative’ in Bangkok, from 2-6 August 2010. The Training is being supported by the Rockefeller Foundation. 

The Workshop will be an opportunity for delegates to contribute to the review and finalization of the Zoonotic Diseases Training Package; a set of modules which have been developed by the Murdoch University Faculty of Health Sciences (Australia), University of Chiang Mai School of Veterinary Medicine, and Macro International. The Training Package is being coordinated by ADPC, with input from Ministries of Health, Livestock/Agriculture, UN Agencies, academic institutions and NGOs, as well as medical and animal health practitioners.  

The Zoonotic Diseases Training Package is designed for a broad-spectrum approach, incorporating history and overview of ‘One Health’, disaster risk preparedness and response to zoonotic diseases, surveillance and monitoring, and cross-cutting issues. It is designed to facilitate the sharing of information between the fields of animal and human health, and provide professionals with the skills to manage the threat of zoonotic diseases effectively. The primary goal is to provide a vital and appropriate training tool for personnel who need to deal with zoonotic diseases emergencies, from Ministries of Health, Livestock/Agriculture, local governments, NGOs, UN and International Agencies. 

The Pilot Workshop will be the first time the Training Package modules have been presented together. There will be opportunities for active sharing, participation and evaluation.

This training package is the result of the One-Day Zoonotic Diseases Curriculum Development Workshop, held in Bangkok on 8 December 2009.
