One Health
Interconnected species wellbeing
One Health is an approach recognizing that human health, animal health, and environmental health are interconnected and interdependent.
The framework guides research and policy on issues where these domains overlap—zoonotic diseases, antibiotic resistance, food safety, climate change effects.
The One Health approach helped researchers trace the virus from wildlife to humans.
The term gained prominence after outbreaks like SARS and COVID-19 highlighted how animal-borne pathogens threaten human populations.
