IHR-PVS National Bridging Workshops (abbreviated NBW) are three-day events facilitated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) bringing together 50-to-80 participants from public health and from animal health services.

The objective of the workshops is to analyse and improve the collaboration between the two sectors in the prevention, detection and response to zoonotic diseases and other health events at the animal–human interface (food safety, food security, antimicrobial resistance).
