By Zoila Palma: In collaboration with the Ministry of Health & Wellness, together with the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and its specialized center in Veterinary Public Health, Centro Panamericano de Fiebre Aftosa, held a virtual seminar on the Clinical Management of New World Screwworm.
The seminar was held to strengthen human and animal health response through a OneHealth Approach in Belize.
The seminar brought together physicians, nurses, environmental health officers, and national surveillance personnel to share experiences, strengthen response capacity for the diagnosis and management of potential human cases, review treatment protocols, and clarify reporting mechanisms and interinstitutional coordination processes.
PAHO noted that Belize remains vulnerable due to cross-border animal movement, livestock production systems, environmental conditions favorable to fly propagation, and occupational exposure among rural workers.
