World One Health Congress 2022

The World One Health Congress (WOHC) is the world’s premier congress that takes place biennially for the worldwide One Health community.

It aims to profile and advance trans-disciplinary efforts that further our collective understanding of animal-human disease transmission alongside their social and environmental determinants.

This Congress is hosted by the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute (SDGHI) with organisational support from the SingHealth International Collaboration Office (ICO).

Other collaborating agencies include the Ministry of Health, Ministry of National Development, National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Management University, Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, Duke-NUS Medical School and more.

WOHC 2022 will serve to increase awareness and understanding of the drivers and global risks of a pandemic threat and ensure that these stay high on the agenda of governments and institutions in the region.

The Congress will ultimately help countries to decrease risk by fomenting better surveillance and boost pandemic preparedness.

The WOHC 2022 anticipates more than 1,500 professionals from international academic institutions, civil societies, national governments and multilateral organisations.

At least 750 participants will attend the face-to-face Congress in Singapore, and another 750 will participate virtually.
