The SEGA – One Health network of the Indian Ocean Commission(IOC) is now recognized as an example of successful regional cooperation in the field of health. This bilingual (French-English) book invites you to discover 15 years of concrete actions and collaborative successes. Through interviews and personal accounts, this book highlights the crucial role played by the SEGA – One Health network, supported by the French Development Agency and the European Union. From training to the fight against zoonoses, from regional vaccination campaigns to operational research, each page reflects the impact of the health cooperation carried out by the SEGA – One Health network, which has enabled :
- respond effectively to emerging epidemics and health risks, by developing a regional surveillance system capable of rapidly detecting health threats and responding to them in a coordinated fashion.
- protect populations over the long term, by deploying vaccination campaigns tailored to local needs and strengthening the skills of healthcare professionals.
- adopt the “One Health” approach as a strategic framework. This global approach recognizes that the health of human populations is intrinsically linked to that of animals and ecosystems.
