Episode 3: A veterinarian's journey in One Health in India. Special Guest: Monal Daptardar

Monal Daptardar is a veterinarian and One Health Practitioner joining us from India. Early in her career, Monal made a last-minute decision to switch to public health from clinical medicine. She walks us through her experiences in One Health and infectious disease, discussing challenges and needs she has observed including vector and host solutions for zoonotic diseases, the inclusion of additional disciplines in high-level reports such as the World Health Organization’s One Health High-Level Expert Committee Report, and action for Rabies in India.
