The World Health Organization (WHO) and France hosted the One Health Summit on World Health Day 2026, announcing new initiatives to protect human, animal, and environmental health through the One Health approach. The Summit highlighted urgent global challenges such as climate change, zoonotic diseases, and health inequities, aiming to prevent future health crises by fostering cross-sector collaboration and scientific guidance.

The World Health Organization (WHO) today calls on people everywhere to renew their commitment to working together and supporting science as the twin engines driving better health, under the World Health Day 2026 theme: “Together for health. Stand with science.” The campaign marks the anniversary of WHO’s founding on 7 April 1948, launching a year-long public health campaign.

ECDC together with the Latvian national authorities and the EU Health Task Force (EUHTF), completed an After-Action Review (AAR) to strengthen future preparedness and response to leptospirosis and other zoonotic disease outbreaks.

On 17 March 2026, ECDC supported a simulation exercise in Brussels, Belgium, designed to explore cross-sectoral collaboration and coordination when responding to a potential viral haemorrhagic fever outbreak.
