The chairs of the latest Lancet One Health Commission report, Prof Andrea Winkler and Prof John Amuasi, are visiting Oxford to pre-launch the Lancet One Health Commission report. The event will offer an opportunity to explore some of the gaps, questions, and emerging priorities in One Health. The event will bring together experts and practitioners for an open and engaging conversation on how current approaches to health can evolve to better respond to the complex realities we face today. The event will encourage participants to reflect on what is missing in current One Health thinking and practice, where deeper integration is needed, and how future efforts can build more inclusive, responsive, and impactful solutions.
