What one health is!

A health is a broad concept, reflecting any relationship between human health, animals and the environment. From a public health perspective, the ultimate goal of One Health (MSK) is how to get the best human MSK. In other words, human health is considered central and placed in relation to animal health and the environment. From the perspective of Veterinary Medicine, the field of Community Veterinary Medicine is considered to be the contribution of Veterinary Medicine to Public Health in the One Health approach.

One Health is the integrative effort of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally to attain optimal health for people, animals, and the environment. (FAO, OIE et al. 2008)

One Health is understood as a zoonosis precaution by controlling infection and disease in animal populations in ecosystems. (Anonymous 2011)

For example: want to change behavior that requires a health professional to understand how culture and beliefs affect the disease of individuals and communities; Public health requires leadership and cooperation skills to develop and implement policies and regulations.
