Descripción
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)1, together with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), jointly organized the regional meeting to accelerate prevention and control of neglected foodborne parasitic zoonoses in selected Asian countries. This was to build on the previous effort made at the WHO Expert Consultation to Accelerate Control of Foodborne Trematode Infections, Taeniasis and Cysicercosis held in 17-19 May 2017, which recommended adapting a comprehensive One Health approach as a core strategy and the Tripartite to jointly support countries to build capacity to effectively control these diseases. In order to catalyse intersectoral partnership for coordinated multisectoral actions to accelerate the prevention and control of neglected foodborne parasitic zoonoses in Asia in line with the ongoing efforts for overall strengthening of national food safety systems, regional physical meeting has been organized. For FAO, the core roles fall in the area of food safety, therefore the concepts and practical examples of food safety risk communication were the focuses during this meeting. All participants performed a risk communication exercise within the respective country contexts.
