Geneva Science-Policy Interface (GSPI) "Co-authored by over 30 international experts, this policy brief led by the Geneva Science-Policy Interface and the Institute of Global Health at the University of Geneva proposes three key recommendations and 13 action points to leverage Switzerland’s scientific and diplomatic role in One Health. The COVID-19 crisis has unveiled many weaknesses of national health systems and of global health security. Researchers worldwide have been calling for health systems to take a more holistic turn through the adoption of One Health, integrating human, animal and environmental health into a single lens of analysis and action. Switzerland, as a leader in One Health research and as a model of democratic governance, should leverage its diplomatic know-how to take an active, leading role in the prevention, preparedness and response to future epidemics and pandemics."
