One Health Approach
The One Health Approach recognizes that the health of people, animals, and the environment are interconnected. It emphasizes collaboration across various fields—human health, veterinary medicine, and environmental science—to address health issues holistically. For example, diseases can spread from animals to humans, and environmental factors can impact both wildlife and human health. By coordinating efforts across these areas, we can improve disease prevention, enhance food safety, and promote overall well-being. This integrated strategy helps tackle complex health challenges more effectively, ensuring a healthier future for all living beings and the ecosystems they inhabit.
