\u00d6ffentlicher Abendvortrag von Professor Dr. Bassirou Bonfoh (Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques, Abidjan\u2009\/\u2009C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire) im Rahmen der Vortragsreihe \u201eGlobale Gesundheit und One Health\u201c<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Africa faces compounding health threats from zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance to non-communicable diseases and climate shocks that routinely outstrip siloed risk analysis and interventions. Drawing on two decades of research capacity building, the Afrique One consortium demonstrates how hybrid knowledge systems, collaborative networks, and governance competencies bridge sectors to safeguard societal wellbeing. This lecture examines scalable frameworks for transdisciplinary training, joint surveillance-response systems, and the integration of investment cases into health policies. Ongoing multisectoral coordination provides the roadmap to shift Africa from reactive outbreak containment to proactive, sovereign health resilience.<\/p>\n
