[h=1]Adoption of One Health in Thailand's National strategic plan for emerging infectious diseases.[/h] Sommanustweechai A[SUP]1[/SUP], Iamsirithaworn S[SUP]2[/SUP], Patcharanarumol W[SUP]3[/SUP], Kalpravidh W[SUP]4[/SUP], Tangcharoensathien V[SUP]3[/SUP].

[h=3]Abstract[/h] This study illustrates how Thailand adopted the One Health concept. Massive socio-economic and health consequences of emerging infectious diseases, especially Avian Influenza in 2004, led to recognition of the importance of and need for One Health. Based on collaboration and consultative meetings between the national actors and international development partners, Thailand adopted One Health to drive more effective containment of Emerging Infectious Diseases. This concept gained support from the non-governmental and civil society organizations through processes of the National Health Assembly. In 2012, a Cabinet resolution endorsed a National Strategic Plan for Emerging Infectious Diseases (2013-2016), in which One Health appeared as a core principle. Collaboration among multi-disciplinary groups of professionals, particularly epidemiologists trained in Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETP), including FETP, FETP-veterinarian, and FETP-wildlife veterinarians, promoted implementation of One Health.
