One Health Concept
The One Health concept recognizes the complex interconnectedness and interdependence of humans, animals, and the environment that we share. The One Health approach aims to demonstrate the synergistic benefit of closer cooperation between the human, animal, and environmental health sciences, as well as the importance of dismantling disciplinary and professional silos. This work is vital for ensuring a sustainably reconnected approach to defending and enhancing the health of humans, animals, and our shared environment.
Lancet One Health Commission
About
the Commission
The Lancet One Health Commission offers a recalibrated understanding of how contemporary global health challenges are implicated within the complex interconnectedness of humans, animals, and our shared environment, and to provide an approach for harnessing this knowledge to ensure a sustainably healthy future.
The Commission’s work explicates the significance of a One Health approach for policy by engaging transdisciplinary expertise and perspectives from both the public and private sectors.
Attention will be directed to infectious diseases, AMR, and non-communicable diseases—the latter of which have often been left out of the discourse on One Health.
