Wafaa M Rashed: Why Genomics Policy Must Embrace One Health in Africa
Wafaa M Rashed, Chair and founder of PAPERI at Pan- African PGS Education and Research Initiative, shared on LinkedIn:
“Why Genomics Policy Must Embrace One Health in Africa.
We are proud to share a compelling blog by Ms. JOHNGWE Mac Juliette (Cameroon) on a topic of critical relevance to Africa’s health future:
‘Why Genomics Policy Must Embrace One Health: Linking Humans, Animals, and the Environment in Africa.’
‘For the continent to build robust, future-proof health systems, genomic frameworks must integrate animal and environmental data—not just human data.’
This timely blog explores:
- The role of genomics in predicting and preventing disease outbreaks
- The importance of cross-sectoral surveillance and policy integration
- How bioinformatics and biostatistics can enhance public health response
- Why ethical, equitable, and community-led approaches are essential
- African-led solutions and examples already making a difference
Now is the time to move beyond siloed systems and embrace a holistic, One Health approach to genomics in Africa. Share your thoughts, tag colleagues, and let’s keep the conversation going.”
