Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed how poorly prepared the world is for a pandemic and how easily viruses spread in our interconnected world. The response to COVID-19 in Indonesia has been hampered by a surge in infection and re-infection cases, an ill prepared of healthcare system, low booster vaccination coverage, the emerging of new sub variant, inconsistent implementation of public health measures, and communication barriers. Nevertheless, as infectious disease outbreaks become more frequent, it is hoped that national health security resources will be identified and strengthened. This will enable the nation to keep pace with spreading diseases and become more resilient to future threats. COVID-19 exposes strengths and weaknesses while also creating threats and opportunities. An analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic strategy was conducted using SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis based on Indonesia's experience with the response and countermeasures to COVID-19. The objective of this study is to analyse all the factors involved in the COVID-19 pandemic response so that lessons can be learned towards an effective public health emergency response. The results highlighted strengths, identified weaknesses, and provided recommendations for the future. This would be useful in responding to current threats to global health security and preparing for future ones.

Abstract

The One Health paradigm, with its integral recognition of human, animal, and environmental health interdependencies, has garnered increasing endorsement in recent years. Equally important is the agro-maritime sector, given its crucial role in food security and international commerce, which is now acknowledged as a fundamental component within the One Health strategy. Contemporary complex health issues such as zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and food safety threats necessitate a holistic, interdisciplinary approach that considers the trifecta of human, animal, and environmental health. The amalgamation of agro-maritime and One Health strategies is paramount in addressing burgeoning challenges that imperil global health security. These encompass the proliferation of zoonotic diseases, the surge in antimicrobial resistance, and escalating concerns surrounding food safety. The significance of advancing surveillance, monitoring, and control measures, along with fostering innovative technologies and strategies, is underscored to pre-empt and mitigate the impacts of these health threats. Spanning agriculture, aquaculture, and fisheries, the agro-maritime sector's substantial role in global health security is highlighted due to its profound influence on food production, nutrition, and environmental sustainability. The One Health model, a comprehensive approach acknowledging the intertwined nature of human, animal, and environmental health, provides a robust framework to confront emerging global health threats such as antimicrobial resistance, zoonotic disease spread, and climate change-induced health impacts. The discourse emphasizes the criticality of interdisciplinary collaboration and the deployment of a holistic perspective to tackle complex global health challenges. By strengthening the argument for the convergence of One Health and agro-maritime sectors, this paper seeks to galvanize proactive and collaborative efforts among stakeholders to fortify global health security in an increasingly unpredictable world
