Doctors and vets work together to fight disease outbreaks
A novel approach to fighting infectious disease outbreaks that has doctors and vets working together:
World-renowned infectious disease expert
Professor David Murdoch is giving a lecture this Wednesday
as part of the University of Otago, Christchurch’s public
health lecture series.
One Health: A global
approach to tackling infectious
diseases.
Wednesday 6 April, 7 – 8pm in the
Rolleston Lecture Theatre, University of Otago,
Christchurch, 2 Riccarton Ave on Christchurch Hospital
campus.
One Health recognises the links between humans, other animals and the environment, and is gaining momentum in the fight against infectious diseases.
Professor Murdoch will discuss the use of One Health principles (recognising that the health of humans and animals, and viability of ecosystems are inextricably linked) in addressing important infectious diseases, including neglected infections in developing countries.
