Abstract
The One Health concept highlights the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health, advocating for a collaborative, multi-sectoral, and interdisciplinary approach to attain the best possible health outcomes. This review comprehensively explores the One Health framework, highlighting its relevance in addressing contemporary global health challenges such as zoonoses, climate change, antimicrobial resistance, and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). It examines the role of International Health Regulations (IHR) in implementing One Health strategies, promoting health education, and identifying gaps in practices to strengthen health systems globally. The review discusses the human-animal interface, the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases, and the importance of integrating veterinary, medical, and environmental sciences to enhance public health outcomes. Additionally, it addresses the significance of food safety and nutrition, outlining the contributions of One Health in ensuring safe and sustainable food systems. The review also demonstrates the effectiveness of One Health initiatives in mitigating the spread of infectious diseases and enhancing global health security. The integration of One Health principles in clinical practice and public health policy is essential for a resilient and responsive health system capable of addressing the complex interplay of factors affecting health. The review calls for continued research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the implementation of One Health strategies to foster a healthier, more sustainable world.
