the One Health concept

The One Health concept is an approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of human health, animal health, and the environment. It emphasizes that the well-being of people, animals, and ecosystems are interlinked. For instance, a disease outbreak in animals can impact human health, and environmental changes can affect both. By promoting collaboration among healthcare professionals, veterinarians, and environmental scientists, One Health aims to tackle issues like pandemics, food safety, and biodiversity loss more effectively, ensuring healthier communities and a balanced planet.
