One health approach: an integrated strategy

The One health approach is a collaborative and integrated strategy that recognizes the close interconnection between human, animal, and environmental health, promoted by global health organizations including the World health organization (WHO). It emphasizes multisectoral coordination to prevent, detect, and respond to emerging and re-emerging diseases resulting from human-animal interactions. One health strategy plays a vital role in the present context of increasing threats of zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), environmental degradation and climate change throughout the world. India’s National one health mission further reinforces this approach by promoting inter-ministerial collaboration and digital surveillance to ensure sustainable health security and improved public health outcomes.
