💙💛 The Director-General of the World Health Organization has designated the UCD Centre for One Health as a WHO collaborating centre. With its new designation, the centre will facilitate the implementation of the WHO agenda on One Health through aligned priorities in research and education, including advocacy, knowledge sharing, lifelong learning and capacity-building activities. One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach that recognises that people's health is closely connected to the health of animals, plants, and their shared environment. As the first WHO Collaborating Centre on One Health in Europe, the UCD Centre for One Health will promote and foster collaboration across sectors and countries to shape the implementation of a One Health approach in the region. This will be done through a range of activities, including developing One Health workshops, modules and outreach programmes for undergraduates, postgraduates, public servants, practitioners, policymakers and the wider public. 🗣️ UCD President Professor Orla Feely: “This designation of the UCD Centre for One Health as the first WHO Collaborating Centre on One Heath in Europe is a testament to the quality and significance of UCD’s research and education in this important multi-disciplinary space." “Joining a network of over 800 WHO Collaborating Centres in more than 80 countries around the world provides the UCD Centre for One Health with significant opportunities to exchange knowledge and information with other world-leading institutions, to strengthen Ireland’s national capacity for training, research and collaboration for health development, and to contribute to the international health agenda." 🗣️ Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe: “At the heart of our work at the WHO Regional Office for Europe is the commitment to collective action for a healthier region. One Health plays a key role in this, recognising the deep connections between human, animal, and environmental health.” “In today’s world, where health challenges are more complex than ever, this approach is essential. I’m excited to announce the launch of the Region’s first One Health Collaborating Center - a hub, placed in Dublin, Ireland, dedicated to driving research that leads to actionable solutions and policy recommendations." Speaking at the announcement, Adjunct Professor Tony Holohan, Director of UCD's One Health Centre, said, “The pandemic has shown us that the world is less resilient and more unequal than it should be. I am honoured as Director of the UCD One Health Centre that the WHO has placed its trust in us to play this important leadership role in One Health.” The UCD Centre for One Health is a national and world-class leader in developing and facilitating strategies to implement One Health. It drives research, education, and collaboration in One Health at national, regional, and global levels.

#OneHealth should be at the heart of how we tackle challenges

It was a pleasure to attend a One Health Seminar for the European region. Hosted by @WOAH_Europe in association with @WHO_Europe @UNEP and @FAO. #OneHealth is a drive for a consideration of Human, Animal, Plant and Ecosystem health in decision making and research.

Highlighting #OneHealth aspects of the #Vaccines & AMR theme @RobLaRagione presented clear evidence that as Veterinary vaccine sales ⬆️, antibiotic sales ⬇️ Interesting approaches to overcome vaccine delivery too #HumanlyPossible @aivrt_hub #WorldImmunisationWeek @UCD_OneHealth

Javier Yugueros Marcos @royalsociety Very interesting example on how animal vaccines impact on UN SDGs. Vaccinations against parasitic infections in cattle ⬇️ the requirement for 3 diff antimicrobials & the money saved went to educating their daughters. #OneHealth #VaccinesWork

Vaccines prevent & ⬇️ AMR: 2 examples. Pneumococal conj vaccine reduced infection ➡️ averted 24 million antibiotic treated episodes Rotavirus vaccine averted 19 million antibiotic treated episodes Vaccines ⬇️ Abx consumption as well as infection &deaths @aivrt_hub @UCD_Research

Members of the UCD One Health centre are working with partners in @Galway_Research and @agriculture_ie and others to carry out surveillance in wildlife and farm animals for the presence of Avian Influenza in Ireland. #OneHealth funded by the EU #EU4Health

Avian influenza is circulating in cattle in the US. The virus circulates in both wild and domestic animals, has the capacity to jump species and spread is affected by environmental conditions. The UCD One Health centre is helping to look for it in Ireland statnews.com/2024/04/23/h5n…
