Putting One Health into Practice

'One Health' is an integrated approach aiming to balance and optimise the health of people, animals, and ecosystems sustainably. It acknowledges the interdependence of human, animal, plant, and environmental health. One Health approaches are increasingly called on to address pressing public health challenges including emerging infectious diseases, pandemics, endemic zoonoses, food safety, food security, nutritional and environmental determinants of health, and health sustainability and equity amidst the escalating impacts of climate change.
