Advancing Effective Dengue Responses through One Health, Science, Partnerships and Shared Learning
This One Health Festival event will explore how One Health approaches are being translated into concrete dengue responses through collaboration between research institutions, public health actors, and international partners.
The session will showcase practical experiences and foster dialogue on how to strengthen coordinated, science-based responses to dengue and other vector-borne diseases, with a focus on partnerships, innovation, and knowledge sharing. It will also bring together high-level representatives from endemic countries, international organisations and leading public health institutions, including senior policymakers and global health leaders. The discussion will aim to identify concrete priorities for action and opportunities for collaboration, contributing to ongoing global efforts to strengthen dengue preparedness and response.
The event will be held in a hybrid format, with the possibility to join remotely via livestream.
