According to Kerimaliev, the implementation of this initiative includes loan funds amounting to $30 million and a grant of $1.79 million.
“This initiative represents a large-scale project aimed at improving the health of the population, animals, and protecting the environment. Phase 1 includes three key components that are designed with the need to create and maintain the basic capacity of the system under normal conditions, as well as the functioning of critical mechanisms for detecting and responding to emergencies. This underscores the importance of a comprehensive approach to addressing global health issues within the framework of the regional 'One Health' program,” he noted.
The key areas of this project include combating zoonotic infections, preventing antimicrobial resistance, and ensuring food safety, added Zhanibek Kerimaliev.
