Dear Ms Sõber,
Virtual learning course on One Health
12 November – 13 December 2024
This letter refers to the invitation for Estonia to nominate participants from the health sector to attend
the Virtual learning course on One Health which will be held from 12 November to 13 December
2024 and hosted by the FAO Virtual Learning Centers. The invitation was sent to you by the World
Health Organization, Regional Office for Europe on 4 October 2024.
This letter serves to clarify that the invitation referred to an additional virtual learning course
specifically for individuals with command of the Russian language. This is complementary to the
English version of the course which took place in February-March 2024, and we expect to offer it in
English again in 2025.
We regret any inconvenience and misunderstanding the original communication may have caused.
Sincerely yours,
Dr Gundo Weiler
Acting Regional Emergency Director

Dear Ms Sõber,

I have the honour to inform you that World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe,
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Regional Office for Europe and
Central Asia, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and World Organisation for Animal
Health (WOAH) will jointly deliver a virtual learning course on One Health through the FAO Virtual
Learning Center (VLC).
The course is designed to develop national capacity for the implementation of the One Health
approach and to encourage interaction between people working in different areas where the One
Health approach applies. The course will bring together professionals from different fields (e.g.
animal health, public health, wildlife, food safety), and aims to provide them an introduction to the
One Health approach and its implementation. For more details, please find a course outline brochure.
Of note, the course is accredited by the Veterinary Continuing Education in Europe (VetCEE).
I have the pleasure in inviting you to nominate five participants from the human health sector in your
country by filling the attached form. If there is more interest, two additional participants can be
included on the waiting list.
This invitation is sent to the Training Focal Point in your organisation. Please note, separate
invitations have also been sent to the animal health, food safety and wildlife contact points of other
authorities in your country to nominate participants from their organisations/sectors.
It is important that the nominated participants will be able to apply what they learn during the course
in their day-to-day work. For this reason, participants should:
• be available to study online for a total 10 hours over four weeks,
• be able to communicate in Russian, and
• work for government human health services (central, regional, or local level)
