One Health is an approach that recognizes the close connections between human, animal, and environmental health. It aims to bring together sectors like human and veterinary medicine to achieve better public health outcomes. The One Health approach is relevant for issues like food safety, controlling zoonotic diseases that can transmit between animals and humans, and combating antibiotic resistance. Zoonotic diseases pose major risks, as over 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic. The One Health approach requires cross-sectoral collaboration and data sharing to effectively monitor diseases, provide guidance to reduce risks, and prevent pandemics.

2. Introduction
• Humans, Animals and Plants are coexisting in same environment
• They can not exist in isolation.
• All are part of larger communities.
• One health is an approach to designing and implementation,
programs, policies and research in which multisector communicate
and work together to achieve better public health outcomes.
3. Definition
• It was officially adopted in 1984
• It is concept to bring together humans ,animals and environmental
health.
• It is defined as a approach that recognize that the health of people is
closely connected the health of animals and our shared environment.
6. One health approach
• Prevent outbreak of zoonotic disease in animals and peoples.
• Improves food safety and security .
• Reduce antibiotic-resistant infection and improves human and
animals health.
• Protect global health security.
7. Areas of work
The area of work in which 0ne health approach is particularly
relevant include:
1:Food safety
2:Control of zoonosis
3:Combating antibiotic resistance
8. Why do we need ?
• To prevent the spread of disease from animals to humans by vaccinating
To collect the information of infective diseases to prevent the pandemics
such as influenza viruses
To prevent transfer of drug resistant microbes that can be transmitted
by direct contact or through contaminated food between animals and
humans
9. Why one health ?
• Zoonotic disease risks from wildlife, livestock, and pets.
• Over 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic
• 60% of human pathogens are zoonotic.
• Most agents of bioterrorism are zoonotic.
• Beyond zoonosis: Disease processes across species are shared.
11. Who makes approach
For effective approach the epidemiological data and laboratory
information should be shared across the sectors
International bodies like WHO is working closely with FAO and OIE for
For promoting food safety hazard
Awareness about zoonosis and other public health threats
Providing the guidance to people on how to reduce risk
