Building Sustainable Resources in Tanzania
We have been involved in AMR efforts in Tanzania for more than a decade. Thanks to support from the Fleming Fund and in collaboration with the Tanzanian government, we launched a national program to build local and sustainable resources for AMR surveillance in humans and animals in 2019.
One Health Workshops in Pakistan
In 2016, Pakistan established the One Health Hub at NIH’s Field Epidemiology and Disease Surveillance Division to build multi-sectoral collaboration between human, animal and environmental health departments. To educate the community, Pakistan’s NIH established a National One Health Strategic Framework, aimed at prioritizing the top 6 zoonotic diseases in the country:
- Anthrax.
- Influenza.
- Rabies.
- Brucellosis.
- Salmonellosis.
- Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever.
In 2021, ASM and NIH jointly conducted 2 virtual workshops and created posters in Urdu and English to enhance awareness about these zoonotic diseases at both the community and professional levels.
