Implementation of One Health surveillance systems: Opportunities and challenges - lessons learned from the OH-EpiCap application.

ABSTRACT: As the complexity of health systems has increased over time, there is an urgent need for developing multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary collaborations within the domain of One Health (OH). Despite the efforts to promote collaboration in health surveillance and overcome professional silos, implementing OH surveillance systems in practice remains challenging for multiple reasons.
