For Comment: Federal Register Notice for Draft National One Health Framework to Address Zoonotic Diseases

October 4, 2023 — 

Open for Public Comment: Federal Register Notice on the draft National One Health Framework to Address Zoonotic Diseases and Advance Public Health Preparedness in the United States: A Framework for One Health Coordination and Collaboration across Federal Agencies.

On September 20, 2023, CDC published a request for public comment on the draft "National One Health Framework to Address Zoonotic Diseases and Advance Public Health Preparedness in the United States: A Framework for One Health Coordination and Collaboration across Federal Agencies."

As directed by Congress through the House Appropriations Committee report accompanying the 2021 omnibus appropriations bill and the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act, CDC has partnered with the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and other departments and agencies to develop this framework. The framework will facilitate One Health collaboration for zoonotic disease prevention and control across the United States Government for the next five years. It describes a common vision, mission, and goals for key federal partners involved in implementing a One Health approach to address zoonotic diseases and advance public health preparedness in the United States.

Review the framework and submit comments by November 6 HERE. Please share your comments with AASV by e-mailing AASV Director of Public Health and Communications Dr. Abbey Canon.
