Veterinary & Public Health Services: Safeguarding Lives Across Species

The health of animals and humans is deeply interconnected. Diseases that affect livestock or wildlife can pose serious risks to human health, food security, and the economy. That’s why Veterinary and Public Health Services are essential pillars of any resilient health system.

At Synergy One Health Expert (SOHE), we believe that protecting animal health is public health — and we’re committed to bridging the gap between veterinary services and human well-being through a One Health approach.

What Are Veterinary & Public Health Services?

 

These services work at the frontline of disease prevention, food safety, and environmental health. They include:

  • Animal disease surveillance and vaccination

  • Zoonotic disease prevention and control

  • Food safety inspection of animal products

  • Public education on hygiene, sanitation, and safe animal handling

  • Vector and pest control in communities

These efforts not only keep animals healthy but also reduce the risk of disease spillover into human populations.

Why This Matters

Over 60% of emerging infectious diseases in humans originate in animals. These include:

  • Rabies

  • Brucellosis

  • Tuberculosis

  • Avian influenza

  • Cysticercosis

  • Toxoplasmosis

In underserved rural communities, a single animal outbreak can devastate families who depend on livestock for income, nutrition, and transport. Investing in veterinary and public health services protects livelihoods, nutrition, and human health all at once.

Our Impact at SOHE

We partner with veterinarians, public health professionals, and local leaders to:

  • Provide community animal health outreach and education

  • Support vaccination campaigns and animal welfare initiatives

  • Train farmers and livestock owners in disease prevention

  • Advocate for stronger collaboration between human and animal health systems

  • Support One Health policy development at the local level

Through an integrated approach, we aim to reduce the burden of zoonotic diseases and promote healthier communities where both people and animals can thrive.
