兽医公共卫生（VPH）非常适合促进人类、动物和环境部门之间的融合。最近发生的人畜共患疾病和新出现的传染病事件促使人们越来越多地呼吁努力建设全球VPH能力。然而，尽管印度等低收入和中等收入国家更容易受到此类事件的影响，包括其对经济和生计的影响，但这些国家的应对措施并不理想，从而增加了全球健康风险。在这些国家有效应对人与动物界面的风险，需要有清晰的愿景、一致的政策、战略方针和持续的政治承诺，以改革和完善目前的动物免疫系统能力建设工作。只有这样，该学科才能通过改善人类和动物健康来实现预防疾病、减轻贫困和支持可持续生计的目标。
Veterinary public health (VPH) is ideally suited to promote convergence between human, animal and environmental sectors. Recent zoonotic and emerging infectious disease events have given rise to increasing calls for efforts to build global VPH capacities. However, even with their greater vulnerability to such events, including their economic and livelihood impacts, the response from low-and middle-income countries such as India has been suboptimal, thereby elevating global health risks. Addressing risks effectively at the human-animal interface in these countries will require a clear vision, consistent policies, strategic approach and sustained political commitment to reform and refine the current VPH capacity-building efforts. Only then can the discipline serve its goal of disease prevention, poverty alleviation and support for sustainable livelihoods through improvements in human and animal health.
