Overview
The need for Global One Health implementation and support is more important today than ever before as we face emerging pandemic threats such as COVID-19. Spreading the message and gaining support to further activities are critical. Since its inception, the Global One Health initiative (GOHi) has experienced explosive growth, becoming one of Ohio State’s largest interdisciplinary examples of institutional teamwork. The year 2021 marks 10 years of GOHi impact, including activities such as the annual Global One Health Summer Institute, GOHi’s flagship program that builds One Health capacity among Ohio State students and professionals around the world.
