The One Health concept arose from the realization
that human health and animal health are inextricably linked and that a holistic
approach is needed to understand, to protect, and to promote the health of all
species. Whether it is emerging infections diseases, antibiotic resistance,
globalization, natural disasters, or climate change, human and veterinary
medical communities must work together to successfully combat the serious health
threats of the 21st century. One Health seeks to improve communication and
encourage collaboration between veterinarians, physicians, environmental
scientists and public health professionals to find multidisciplinary solutions
to these shared challenges. This newsletter was created to lend support to the
One Health Initiative and is dedicated to enhancing the integration of animal,
human, and environmental health for the benefit of all by demonstrating One
Health in practice.
