The project aimed to strengthen government regulatory and surveillance authorities to help reduce the likelihood of future pandemics originating from wildlife-related zoonoses. To achieve this, the project focused on reviewing and assessing existing policies, to formulate policy recommendations that enhance the systematic implementation of the One Health approach. In the course if this work, more than twenty-five national laws and regulations (e.g., the Wildlife Protection Law, Animal Disease Prevention Law, Biosecurity Law, Postal Law, and Panel Code to Policy on Wild Animal Disease Health Inspection, and Regulations on the Administration of Registration of Market Entities) were reviewed, leading to policy recommendations to mitigate the zoonotic spillover risks.
