MyOHUN Develops a Module to Train Workers on the Front Lines of Disaster Response With today’s emerging infectious disease issues, training is necessary to ensure competent frontline health workers are deployed to a disaster area. From 16 to 19 January 2018, a One Health Disaster Front Liner Module Development Workshop was held in Melaka, Malaysia. A total of 25 academics and field experience officers from the Ministry of Health, National Disaster Management Association (NADIM), National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Hospital Serdang and Hospital Sultan Ismail Johor Bahru attended the activity. This 4-day training aimed to develop the basic One Health Disaster Front Liner Module covering the four phases of emergency management. Currently, there is no on-the-job training to produce competent frontline health workers before deploying them to a disaster area, thus the competencies proposed for the module cover four areas of emergency management, which are the mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery stage before, during, and after deployment of the frontline health workers. The activity consolidated all necessary existing modules from three main public universities, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia-Japan International Institute of Technology, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, and the Southeast Asia Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.

A video developed by the Faculty of Communication and Media Studies for the Ministry of Health under the MyOHUN One Health Workforce (OHW) Project funded by USAID

In this video compilation, students who took part in the Uganda One Health Institute Field Attachment 2018, share their experiences, especially how the training program impacted their understanding of One Health and appreciation of other disciplines in dealing with complex health challenges.

Assessing gaps in collaboration during an outbreak response may lead to improvement of coordination in the next emergency. Co-developed by the University of Minnesota and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the One Health Systems Mapping and Analysis Resource Toolkit (OH-SMART) uses real-life challenges like zoonotic disease surveillance and response to work through a series of specific steps adapted from business process improvement and participatory leadership methods to create a visual representation, or map, of the system of communication and coordination across their organizations – allowing them to analyze the One Health system. A Master Facilitator training was conducted for One Health practitioners in the One Health Central and Eastern Africa (OHCEA) countries to create a pool of individuals in academia, government and bilateral agencies who could then conduct similar training workshops in their countries.

The Thailand One Health University Network (THOHUN) joined in the “Global One Health Day 2018” celebrations on November 3, 2018, organized by the Coordinating Unit for One Health, a nationally focused network dedicated to promoting improved health of people, livestock animals, wildlife, and environment. The One Health Day celebration was held at Siam Square One in Bangkok, Thailand, where people from all walks of life were able to interact with each other and access information that promotes One Health. THOHUN, along with other national organizations in Thailand, created the Coordinating Unit for One Health as a nationally focused network dedicated to promoting improved health of people, livestock animals, wildlife, and environment. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Parntep Ratanakorn, THOHUN Chairman and Asst. Prof. Dr. Seangduen Moonsom, THOHUN National Coordinating Office Coordinator spoke about One Health during presentations at the event. This type of public outreach event helps the network spread the word about the importance of human, animal, and environment connection in a fun and educational celebration. https://medium.com/one-health-workforce/global-one-health-day-celebrations-in-thailand-6e8361d9746
