Its #WorldRabiesDay

More than 95% of #rabies cases in humans are from dog bites.

This year, we join the global community to call for strengthened health systems and #OneHealth collaborations to ensure zero deaths from #rabies.

#OneHealthZeroDeaths

#OneHealthNigeria aims to build a nation of healthy people, animals & environment.

Some issues requiring the #OneHealth approach include:
➡Zoonotic diseases eg. #LassaFever, #rabies
➡Environmental contamination
➡Water/Food safety
➡#AntimicrobialResistance

#OneHealth approach recognises that the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment.

This #OneHealthDay, we reiterate the importance of joint efforts to address public health concerns at the human-animal-environment interface.

Zoonotic, water/food borne & vector-borne diseases eg. #cholera, #LassaFever, #measles, #monkeypox etc. repeatedly pose threats to humans & animals with significant disability & death rates

Nigeria's #OneHealth strategic plan aims to tackle this challenge

Our National Action Plan for Antimicrobial Resistance incorporates a #OneHealth approach to contain #AMR in Nigeria
