One Global Health Approach: Integrating Humans, Animals, and the Environment to Prevent Global Disease

In today’s interrelated world, the health of humans, animals, and the environment are without question linked together. The concept of “One Health” recognizes this interdependence and advocates a holistic approach for addressing global health issues. One Health encompasses the understanding that the well-being of humans, animals, and ecosystems is interconnected and that interventions must be collaborative in order to effectively tackle complex health challenges. In recent decades, the increasing occurrence of emerging infectious diseases and environmental ruin has highlighted the limitations of traditional isolated health approaches. These challenges transcend national boundaries and disciplines, demanding innovative strategies that can tackle their complex root causes.
