BACKGROUND
In recent decades, the spillover of infectious agents from animals to humans has profoundly affected the health of people, animals, and the environment. To combat future pandemic threats, the Southeast Asia One Health University Network (SEAOHUN) was founded in 2011 with support from the U.S. Agency for International Development. Its mission is to cultivate a resilient and skilled One Health workforce capable of preventing, detecting, and responding to infectious disease threats through exceptional education, research, and training provided by its member universities.
Since its inception, SEAOHUN has expanded from 10 founding universities in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam to over 112 institutions across eight countries, including Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and the Philippines. Our member universities encompass a diverse range of disciplines that connect the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems. SEAOHUN's regional programs foster collaboration among member countries, with a strong focus on enhancing One Health education and research. Initiatives include developing core and technical competencies in One Health, implementing competency-based education, and building research capacity to support evidence-based advocacy. Additionally, we promote One Health student clubs and various experiential learning activities.
Based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, the SEAOHUN Secretariat serves as the coordinating body for all country networks. It manages subawards, facilitates governance structure and its operations, conduct regional activities, and strengthens One Health University Networks through capacity-building initiatives. The Secretariat also represents the interests of country networks at global and regional forums, including the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) and the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO). Collaborations with organizations like Zoetis and Pfizer focus on tackling the rising threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), while partnerships with Chevron aim to enhance One Health education in the region.
