Happening now in Livingstone! 🌍 Cross-border #OneHealth simulation exercise to strengthen preparedness & coordination for health threats in the Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area.

Big driver is to prepare for what’s coming - & what’s already hitting - with the impact of climate change on #health #security, particularly the increased risk of emerging infectious disease outbreaks in context of increasing trade & movement of animals & people across borders.

As always, my sister, @DrEmeruemJnr is on the money in this commentary. And she makes the same points re collaboration, equity, domestic ownership, etc that @paimadhuand I make in our recent @bmj_latest commentary.
