News Release: Public Health Commission’s December Meeting Explored Public Health Funding, One Health Following the recent release of its 2024 interim report to the Maryland General Assembly and Governor Wes Moore, the Maryland Commission on Public Health held its regular monthly meeting on Thursday, December 5, with Dr. Oluwatosin Olateju as presiding co-chair. The final meeting of the year marked another step forward in the Commission’s work to strengthen the state’s health infrastructure as commissioners heard from the funding workgroup on their findings. Dr. Deborah Thomson, an expert in One Health and public health communications, also spoke to the Commission about the emerging field of One Health, which looks at public health issues through the interconnectedness of communities, the built environment, and surrounding animal life.

One Health is an approach that recognizes that human, animal, and environmental health are all connected. The One Health approach brings together different experts from a variety of educational backgrounds to solve complex issues that affect our health. By protecting one, we help protect all.

Over the years, it has become increasingly clear that the health of one directly impacts the others, forming a complex web of interdependence. For example, deforestation and industrial pollution not only endanger wildlife but also contribute to climate change, which in turn affects human health through rising temperatures, the spread of diseases, and the depletion of resources. It’s no longer just about protecting individual species or human communities; it’s about recognising that true health can only be achieved when all systems—human, animal, and environmental—are in harmony. In 2025, addressing this collective health crisis must be a top priority.

Glad to share that I have completed the "Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment: Key Concepts and Intervention" course offered by the World Health Organization. After taking this course I can : • Describe the risks of AMR to human and animal health, food systems, environment, livelihoods and economies. • Describe the key drivers of AMR in the environment and explain what contributes to AMR emergence, spread and transmission in the environment. • Apply overall environmental approaches to prevent, control and mitigate AMR. • Demonstrate governance approaches to addressing AMR in the environment and action that can be embedded in national action plan processes to support AMR detection, control and mitigation. #OpenWHO #LearningSavesLives

🌍 What is One Health? A Unified Approach to Global Health Challenges 🩺🐾🌱  In today’s interconnected world, the health of humans, animals, and our environment are inseparably linked. One Health recognizes this vital connection and emphasizes the need for collaboration across disciplines to address shared health challenges.  🚨 Emerging zoonotic diseases like Ebola, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus serve as stark reminders of how diseases cross the human-animal-environment interface. Factors like population growth, climate change, and global travel amplify these risks.  🔑 The key to combating these threats lies in communication, coordination, and collaboration among experts in human, animal, and environmental health. Together, we can:  Prevent zoonotic disease outbreaks.  Enhance food safety and security.  Combat antimicrobial resistance.  Protect biodiversity and ecosystems.  As a public health professional, I am passionate about solutions that integrate expertise across disciplines to create a healthier, more sustainable world. Let’s work together to promote the One Health approach and safeguard our shared future. A special thank you to the CDC for promoting this vital initiative. 🙏 

The Quadripartite (WHO-FAO-WOAH-UNEP) has selected me for the One Health High Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) phase 2. https://lnkd.in/eY44hjcw Let me know if you have inputs.

Today is #OneHealthDay and although the concepts of One Health and One Medicine differ, they both recognise the importance of the relationship between humans and animals 👣🐾 We want a world where both humans AND animals have better opportunities to benefit equitably from medical progress because vets, doctors and researchers routinely collaborate and share. This is One Medicine. We believe this will lead to progressively fewer laboratory animal tests until one day, they become obsolete. If you agree, please sign our Pledge today and join the growing, global community striving to make One Medicine a reality: https://bit.ly/3ZJkjr2 ✍️ #OneMedicine #StrongerTogether #AllPatientsMatters

As we conclude National Farm Safety and Health Week, let's remember that fall harvest time can be both the busiest and most dangerous season of the year. By keeping everyone's wellbeing in mind, we can make the harvest safe and successful for all. #NFSHW #necasag For more valuable insights on farm safety, be sure to explore our blog: https://hubs.ly/Q02Q6q_R0
