According to a top doctors, workers in the areas of environment and health promotion may work together on how to better follow the One Health approach to ensure better results for Thais.
Soawapak Hinjoy, chairman of the Disease Control Department’s Office of International Cooperation, made this suggestion on Wednesday at” The Climate and Health Regional Dialogue” website, jointly held by Mahidol University’s Faculty of Tropical Medicine and the French ambassador.
Dr. Soawapak claimed that Thailand has been working on the One Health strategy since 2007, when a influenza illness struck. She claimed that the Disease Control Department collaborated with various organizations to stop the epidemic and stop its spread as a result.
She claimed that the One Health strategy developed over time, and that the Thailand Coordinating Unit for One Health was established in 2014 to ensure a comprehensive and integrated approach to maintaining Thais ‘ health in accordance with a definition from the World Health Organization ( WHO ).
One Health is defined by the WHO as an integral and unifying approach that seeks to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, pets, and communities.
This method recognises the health of people, domestic and wild animals, plants, and wild conditions is closely linked and interdependent.
Dr. Soawapak expressed concern about the integration of the one wellness method and the public health sectors. Because health and climate modify are interconnected, she said she would enjoy both fields to collaborate to make the application of the program prosperous in Thailand.
She argued that information should be shared among condition firms, which could use it to combine it with forecasting conditions and diseases.
” When we talk about women’s health, it is often related to conditions. People in the economic business might not get as involved when we talk about conditions because they may believe it is our responsibility as medical professionals, doctors, or veterinarians to treat them, she said.
” It worries me that if we take a holistic approach, we may discover that health issues are brought on by climate change. Therefore, we must shift our perspective when examining health problems in relation to the environment.
