[Participatory Epidemiology for Animal and Public Health]
PENAPH is posting this OHCEA announcement as it should be of interest to our members. Please contact the organizers listed in the announcement for more information.
One Health Central and Eastern Africa (OHCEA), a network of 14 institutions of public health and veterinary medicine in six countries of Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda, with USA partners University of Minnesota and Tufts University are pleased to invite submission of abstracts to the first International OHCEA One Health Conference to be held from 23rd to 27th September 2013, at Hilton Hotel, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
As the world faces challenges in tackling emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, this creates a need for different disciplines, government and private sectors, developmental organisations and other stakeholders to come together to tackle the ever increasing complex problems. OHCEA, therefore, calls for abstracts from academicians, policy makers, developmental organisations, clinicians, government agencies and students from all disciplines working at the interface of human-animal and the environment. The main theme of the One Health conference is “One Health and the Control of infectious Diseases: Building Capacity, Systems and Engaging communities”.
The sub-themes for the One Health Conference are:
• Disease surveillance, control and prevention
• Building One Health systems
• Capacity building in developing nations
• Social and economic dynamics affecting disease control
• One Health policy communication and advocacy
• The environment and infectious disease dynamics
• Promoting One Health: what does it take?
• Women’s role in One Health initiatives
• Engaging communities in One Health Initiatives
Important dates:
Abstract Submission deadline: 15th July 2013
Early registration deadline: 16th August 2013
Conference dates: 23rd to 27th September 2013
