This #WorldRabiesDay2023, let's unite for a common cause: protecting the health of humans, animals & the environment!

Embrace the "All for 1, #OneHealth for all" theme and join the fight against rabies.

Raise awareness ✅
Vaccinate your pets✅

Together, we can make a rabies-free world a reality!

Recent global health events including the #COVID19 pandemic and #mpox outbreak, are examples of diseases emerging as a result of close contact between animals and people.

#OneHealth approach recognises the close connection between the health of people, animals, and the environment and the role this connection plays in the spread of diseases.

#OneHealthNigeria
#OneHealthDay2023

Fighting emerging disease threats like #COVID19 requires #OneHealth collaboration across the human health, animal health, and environmental spectrum.

No one person, organisation, or sector alone can effectively address diseases at the human-animal-environment interface.

#OneHealthNigeria
#OneHealthDay2023

Communication, coordination, & collaboration among partners working in animal, human, and environmental health as well as other relevant areas are essential to the #OneHealth approach.

Working together allows us to have the biggest impact on improving the health of both the people and animals living in a shared environment.

#OneHealthDay2023
#OneHealthNigeria

Every year, the National Antimicrobial Resistance Technical Working Group joins the global community to raise awareness of the dangers of misuse or overuse of #antimicrobials.

Fighting #AMR is a global endeavour that must be addressed through a #OneHealth approach as evident in this year's theme of #WAAW2023: ‘Preventing #AntimicrobialResistance together”
