One Health, One Future - Celebrating five years (2020-2024) of collaboration and achievements in One Health under USAID initiative The video sheds light on the challenges that led to the founding of SEAOHUN, highlights the organization's achievements over the past five years through various projects and activities, and outlines the future vision of the organization, inviting everyone to join the cause for a better world, encapsulated in the motto “One Health One Future" "One Health, One Future" encapsulates the idea that the health of humans, animals, and the environment are interconnected and that sustainable solutions to global health challenges can only be achieved through collaborative, cross-sectoral approaches. This concept emphasizes that the future of public health, ecological balance, and biodiversity depends on recognizing and addressing these interdependencies. It advocates for integrated efforts across various disciplines, including medicine, veterinary science, environmental science, and policy, to promote the well-being of all species and ecosystems in a shared, sustainable future. For SEAOHUN and its partners, "One Health, One Future" represents a shared vision of addressing the complex health challenges in Southeast Asia through a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach. It reflects the core belief that the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems are deeply interconnected, and that only by working together across sectors can we secure a sustainable future. This aligns with SEAOHUN’s mission to strengthen capacity and promote the One Health approach through partnerships with academic institutions, governments, international organizations, and the private sector. By engaging a diverse network of experts and stakeholders, SEAOHUN and its partners aim to develop innovative solutions that protect public health, enhance biodiversity, and safeguard environmental sustainability. "One Health, One Future" embodies the collective responsibility to ensure a healthier and more resilient world for all.

If anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it is most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war, not missiles but microbes, said Bill Gates (2015) Since late 2019, we’ve seen world economies lose trillions in the face of COVID-19. It took one century from the most severe pandemic (1918 Spanish Flu) to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic If we are not prepared it will take a shorter time to face the next global health crisis causing another devastating loss to human lives, livelihood and economy. We must act now! by working in solidarity to stop the next pandemic. SEAOHUN works with over 95 member universities in 8 Southeast Asian countries and other partners to build the next generation of One Health professionals with the right skillset and mindset to fight global health threats and protect humanity from emerging health issues. We believe that infectious diseases have no boundaries, then neither should we. Let’s unite to stop and prevent the next outbreak before it spreads worldwide. Together we can protect the health of our future generations. Together, SEAOHUN is building immunity for humanity. Join us to make our world safer and healthier.

For sustainable One Health interventions, communities and human, animal, and environmental health partners must collaborate to find long-term solutions. In the Lawa Lake area of Thailand, the Tropical Disease Research Center (TDRC) of Khon Kaen University has implemented a proven, integrative Eco-Health/One Health approach with active community engagement to control human liver flukes for the past decade. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the onsite training was unavailable for those who were interested. However, this presented an opportunity to design an online training course with a short field visit to sustain the training. Tropical Disease Research Center (TDRC) of Khon Kaen University and SEAOHUN (Southeast One Health University Network) therefore applied for supports and received funding from Chevron for their project “Applying One Health to Solve Community Health Issues” under the umbrella of the main project “Strengthening One Health Education in Southeast Asia”. The project aims to promote an interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach using combined wisdom of multiple stakeholders from local to global including communities, researchers, administrators, health professionals and other key players to solve complex health issues using the Lawa Model One Health approach prototype.

SEAOHUN is a regional network of 95 universities in eight Southeast Asian countries: Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam, plus 6 universities in Taiwan. Our mission is to develop a resilient and competent One Health workforce to effectively prevent, detect and respond to infectious disease threats by leveraging education, research, and training excellence. SEAOHUN advocates for the role of universities to build the capacity of professionals across sectors---working with government agencies, international and regional organizations, development aid agencies, the private sector, leading academic and research institutions, and non-governmental organizations to equip future leaders with One Health competencies. Faculty members, researchers, and students of SEAOHUN member universities contributed to COVID-19 testing efforts and provided training on risk communication and community engagement, surveillance and rapid response, and infection prevention and control. Through the USAID One Health Workforce and One Health Workforce – Next Generation projects, our member universities have promoted and equipped health professionals with One Health competencies, and some have successfully institutionalized the One Health concept into their curricular offerings. We are thankful for the support of USAID and the One Health Workforce – Next Generation consortium that is enabling us to strengthen health professionals with the right skill sets and mindset to lessen the impact of COVID-19 and stop other future pandemics.
