Education is fundamental to building more equitable societies. SDG 4 calls for inclusive and equitable quality education and learning opportunities for all. This includes expanding access to education, developing skills, and strengthening opportunities for learners worldwide.

Achieving these goals requires investing in people and building the skills needed to address challenges. Through OHGA, we help connect disciplines, strengthen the global health workforce, and equip communities and professionals with the knowledge to develop sustainable solutions.

Good health and well-being are fundamental to sustainable development. SDG 3 calls for healthy lives and well-being at all ages. This includes reducing preventable deaths, combating communicable diseases, strengthening health systems and improving access to quality care.

Health is deeply connected to the environment, animals, communities, and the systems that support them. By bringing together expertise across disciplines and sectors, we can better prevent health threats, strengthen health systems, and develop solutions grounded in local needs.

We were proud to see One Health Global Alliance (OHGA) represented by our Founder & CEO, Dr. Wondwossen Gebreyes, at the 24th annual Epimol - Molecular Epidemiology Course, organized by Fiocruz, Brazil’s leading public health research institution.
