Vet Dean Highlights Animal-Origin Epidemics and One Health Importance
The article focused on the importance of One Health, where the Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Badr University emphasized that emerging epidemics such as Ebola and Hanta, along with previous pandemics like avian flu, swine flu, and COVID-19, originate from animals and account for more than 75% of infectious diseases that affect humans. It highlighted that the evolving role of the veterinarian extends beyond animal care to become an essential part of protecting human health by monitoring viral mutations and implementing preventative measures before they transfer to humans, within the framework of the "One Health" concept that links veterinary medicine, human health, and the environment. Additionally, the establishment of an international research center to develop strategies for confronting epidemic challenges was discussed, with support from the ministries of health and higher education, to enhance preventive and proactive capabilities against future pandemics.
