The One Health approach to incident management of the 2019 Lassa fever outbreak response in Nigeria
Globally, effective emergency response to disease outbreaks is usually affected by weak coordination. However, coordination using an incident management system (IMS) in line with a One Health approach involving human, environment, and animal health with collaborations between government and non-gove...
