In the last 40 years, all 6 pandemics have come from disease spillovers from animals. Preventing such events is the most efficient way to mitigate pandemic risks. Investing in the #animalhealth sector is key to effectively curb the emergence & spread of zoonoses.

👩‍⚕️ Veterinarians 👨‍⚕️ play an essential role in the protection and improvement of animal health and welfare, from 🐥livestock, 🐟fish and 🐶pets to 🦌wildlife.

By protecting #animalhealth, veterinarians also protect people and the environment.

Also happening today, @HLSProject on better welfare, better resilience. One case from China showed group-housed sows' offspring recovered quicker from LPS compared to stalled sows. This result is not surprising, but with meaningful implication coming from on-farm trials in China.

The United Nations Environment Assembly has adopted its first-ever resolution with explicit reference to animal welfare. With this resolution, the Assembly is providing the much-needed leadership to catalyze intergovernmental action for the environment: https://t.co/dGVlaF4nui

It was a pleasure to have spoken with partners at @WorldVetAssoc’s #OneHealth Summit about Public-Private Partnership's role in averting the next pandemic. It's clearer than ever that we must urgently work together to leave a better world for future generations, for our children.
