On 6th July 1885, Louis Pasteur successfully administered the first vaccine against rabies, a deadly zoonoses, to a 14-year-old boy who recovered. World Zoonoses Day is celebrated globally every 6th July to commemorate this event. More than 130 years on, preventing zoonoses remains a significant challenge. Ecosystem degradation, deforestation, agricultural intensification to meet the increasing demand for animal protein, urbanization, and rapid transportation around the globe are among factors associated with new and emerging infectious diseases, 75% of which are of animal origin.

We live in the COVID-19 pandemic era, which continues to affects millions of lives and disrupts economies across the globe. Recognizing the need to continue with the conversation about pandemic and future pandemic threat preparedness and prevention, the Malaysian Ministry of Health, in collaboration with MyOHUN, organized a webinar on 6th July 2021, from 2.00 PM until 4.30 PM (Malaysia Time). 

The webinar entitled Preventing the Next Zoonotic Pandemic has convened experts, namely Prof. Dr. Bruce Wilcox, the Director of the Global Health Group International, Prof. Dr. Latiffah Hassan, MyOHUN Coordinator, Teresa Yong Sui Mien from National Institute of Health Malaysia, and Tom Hughes from EcoHealth Alliance, working in various areas of One Health. Together, they shared their perspectives on important aspects of preventing future pandemics and the latest updates on the current zoonotic threats in Malaysia.

The webinar proven to be a huge success with the combination of hot topics and experts gathered with a big turnout of 658 attendees. In addition, audiences have actively participated during Q&A sessions with their curiosity about the issue and how they can contribute to preventing the next pandemic. MyOHUN hoped that the webinar made an impact in creating a stronger, more resilient, and more prepared health workforce in Malaysia.
