Soulsby Foundation chosen to open 6th World One Health Congress 2020

The Soulsby Foundation was chosen by the One Health Platform to open WOHC2020 (https://worldonehealthcongress.org/) on 30th October 2020. The Congress, which was to have been held in Edinburgh, was instead being run virtually between 30th October 2020 and 3rd November.

Following a brief welcome message, Soulsby Foundation Chair Judy MacArthur Clark introduced the 5th Annual Soulsby Lecture entitled “Global diplomacy and security: One Health in the 21st century” which was presented by Dr William Karesh of the EcoHealth Alliance in New York.

After the lecture, Katrina Soulsby Bulloch, Lord Soulsby’s daughter, spoke ardently about the Foundation’s Fellowship programme and of her father’s passion for One Health. In addition, each of the ten Soulsby Fellows had prepared a one-minute video describing their project and the impact that being a Soulsby Fellow was having on their careers.

Judy MacArthur Clark closed the session by encouraging the 1700-strong global audience to be inspired by these videos and to either apply for a 2021 Fellowship or to make a donation to support the work of the Foundation.

The videos prepared by Katrina and all the Soulsby Fellows can be viewed by following this link.
