One Health Model

The concept of One Health is the unity of multiple practices that work together locally, nationally, and globally to help achieve optimal health for people, animals, and the environment. When the people, animals, and environment are put together, they make up the One Health Triad . The One Health Triad shows how the health of people, animals, and the environment is linked to one another. Each element affects and is affected by the others. For instance, diseases transmitted from animals can impact human health, while environmental factors like pollution or climate change can influence both animal and human health. With One Health being a worldwide concept, it makes it easier to advance health care in the 21st century. When this concept is used, and applied properly, it can help protect people, animals, and the environment in the present and future generations.
