How One Health and sustainable systems collaborations can sustainably tackle NTDs

Dr Gabrielle Laing, Senior Policy Advisor: One Health

Carolyn Henry, Deputy Director: Health Systems

Join us for this interactive workshop on supporting collaborations between One Health and sustainability movements.

Achieving sustainable action on NTDs requires the whole system to function –going beyond just human health, to deliver action on livelihoods, nutrition, water, sanitation, ecosystem health, climate change, and more. Start taking action by identifying the easy wins and understanding barriers so, together, we can start tackling them. Collaborating with others could help share the burden and increase the gains!
