One Health Related Meetings
The One Health Office sponsors, attends, and participates in national and international meetings promoting One Health. To date, a series of meetings have been organized by a number of diverse global institutions from the academic, government, non-government, and private sectors which provide an important forum for bringing together national and international specialists to focus on policies and implementation of a One Health approach. These meetings have built a strong case for One Health by striving to identify the true added value of an integrated approach to preventing and detecting emerging and re-emerging diseases. The following provides brief summaries for several meetings that have transpired over the last decade to describe the narrative of the One Health concept to date.

High Level Technical Meeting to Address Health Risks at the Human-Animal-Ecosystems Interfaces
Date
November 15-17, 2011
Location
Mexico City, Mexico
Organizer
Government of the United Mexican States, FAO, OIE, and WHO
Summary
The High Level Technical Meeting (HLTM) was held in Mexico City in November 2011. HLTM built upon the outcomes of the International Ministerial Conference on Avian and Pandemic Influenza (Hanoi 2010) and other related international meetings. The focus of the HLTM was to initiate a process in which health risks at human-animal-ecosystem interfaces are addressed within different geographic regions and to prepare for the next Joint Ministerial Meeting, planned for 2012 or 2013. The meeting highlighted three topic areas (rabies, animal influenza, and antimicrobial resistance) as a basis for discussion about what the Tripartite and individual countries are and could be doing to build political will and more actively engage Ministers in the One Health movement.

Expert Meeting on One Health Governance and Global Network
Date
October 31-November 1, 2011
Location
Atlanta, GA
Organizer
CDC and European External Action Service (EEAS)
Summary
This meeting, with funding from the United States Department of State, brought together the One Health Global Network work group that was established during the Stone Mountain Meeting of 2010. The objective of the meeting was to develop a proposal for a global network that can link all existing and future One Health databases and materials, as well as to develop a vision for the governance of the One Health movement that will ensure the coherence of the movement. A network task force was created and tasked with moving the idea of a "network of networks" forward over the subsequent six months. In addition, the concept of a One Health Guidance Group was developed.
