Bhutan: Evaluating the effectiveness of the One Health approach to zoonoses management

Bhutan has launched a One Health initiative that envisages engagement of stakeholders at national, district and sub-district levels to obtain deeper and more sustainable political support for integrated prevention and management of diseases to mitigate the effect of high impact pathogens of medical and veterinary importance. However, there is a need to further build on these initial steps to strengthen collaboration for effective management of rabies and other zoonoses. This survey is using a questionnaire approach to evaluate the existing coordination and cooperation between the human and animal health sectors in responding to zoonotic disease outbreaks.
