Resumen
Descripción
Central Asia has made much progress
in public health and animal health in the last 20 years but
was as unprepared as other regions in the world to respond
to the COVID-19 pandemic. The region also faces challenges
from other emerging diseases, re-emerging diseases, and
climate change. Since 2020, the Central Asian regional
economies, as the rest of the world, have faced two shocks -
the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Animal
diseases do not respect borders and remain a public health
concern because of the possible transmission of pathogens to
humans. They can spread quickly from one country to another,
with impact on animal health, trade, food security, food
safety and possibly creating public health emergencies. One
Health is an approach that allows for addressing human,
animal, and ecosystem health issues through intersectoral
action, to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from
infectious diseases, with an endpoint of improving global
health security and achieving gains in development. The
World Bank has been actively engaged in Central Asia for
over two decades and is well-placed to act as a convener
able to provide regional program-design expertise and
implementation support for a One Health program. The
findings of this report will support the preparation of the
Central Asia One Health Framework for Action by providing
recommendations for activities which can be further
supported through public spending, private investments, and
other financial resources.
