“…The One Health approach if applied properly would engage microbiologists, physicians, veterinarians, public health officials, manufacturers, farmers, sociologists, economists and other disciplines involved in food safety and production. Foodborne disease and food safety is a global challenge and not unique to the Caribbean, with more developed countries investing in molecular diagnostic technologies, syndromic surveillance and extensive electronic platforms to capture, store, analyze and disseminate associated data [ 19 ]. Indeed it is the desire of the international foodborne disease surveillance community to move towards whole genome sequencing to provide unambiguous, rapid identification of pathogens improving the preventive and response capabilities of public health agencies [ 20 , 21 ].…”

The Caribbean is a net importer of food, and with billions of dollars’ worth of food products being imported each year, territorial governments are now seeking to encourage local production of foods in an attempt to stem the loss of foreign exchange from these economies with little resilience. The Caribbean, however, lacks the comprehensive food safety system that should be a corollary to successful food production. Regional authorities underestimate the burden of foodborne diseases especially on its workforce and major economic base, the tourism industry. Anecdotally after every mass event in the region, many officially unreported cases of gastroenteritis are recognized. This short communication makes the argument of the importance of food borne illnesses specific to the Caribbean, and improvements that could be made to surveillance to reduce negative outcomes associated with the food supply chain.

“…Countries must urgently build capacity, primarily for physical infrastructure for detection and data collection and then for institutional mechanisms. Even when the pathogen and food item sources are identified in developed countries, a lack of public communication during foodborne outbreaks causes a delay in creating awareness and a loss of trust in public health institutions [2].…”

Objective: To assess the capacity of surveillance and response systems of FBDs and FBDOs in Riyadh city at the service level. Methodology:The cross-sectional Study was conducted at service levels in Riyadh city. The questionnaire of the WHO model for surveillance was modified and filled out. Results:Service level: there is no national manual for surveillance and response systems for FBDs or FBDOs. 64 % said that no protocols demonstrating the policy of FBDs or FBDOs. 50 % admitted that there is no surveillance register for FBDs and FBDOs. 42 % need to know the deadline to report. No feedback. Conclusion:Two surveillance and response systems of FBDs and FBDOs. Core functions still need to be fulfilled. Feedback and reporting are impaired at the service level. There are significant gaps in the Riyadh region's surveillance and response systems of FBDs and FBDOs.

“…Diarrhea is included as a food-born disease (Käferstein, 2003). Foodborne disease is a disease caused by consuming contaminated food and drinks (Yeni et al, 2017). Foodborne disease is still a global health problem, especially in developing countries including Indonesia.…”

Counseling on Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is an activity to convey health messages to the community, groups or individuals in the hope of gaining knowledge about better health, which in the end this knowledge can change the behavior of the community itself. Diarrhea is a disease that occurs due to bad habits of the community, and the most severe risk factor for this disease is death. This study aims to determine the effect of PHBS counseling on changes in people's behavior to prevent diarrhea. This research is a pre-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design. The pretest is the observation of public health behavior to prevent diarrhea before PHBS counseling, the treatment is in the form of PHBS counseling to the community, while the posttest is the observation of public health behavior to prevent diarrhea after PHBS counseling. Participants as extension subjects came from Waworada, Sie Village, Bima City - Indonesia. The number of participants was 64 people with various characteristics ranging from gender, age, and education. Health behavior was measured using a questionnaire that was conducted to the participants. Each behavioral data was analyzed descriptively and statistically (using paired t-test). The results of the study have shown that the initial observation, before PHBS counseling, most of the people behaved "enough" in preventing diarrheal diseases. After the implementation of PHBS counseling, most of the people behaved "good". That is, descriptively people's behavior changes in preventing diarrheal diseases with PHBS counseling. Statistically, this behavior change was tested and it was found that there was an effect of PHBS counseling on people's behavior to prevent diarrhea (p 0.000 < 0.05). It is hoped that the results of this study can provide empirical evidence, so that the inculcation of health knowledge through counseling can continue to be carried out in a structured manner to the wider community.
