One health;a multisectoral approach to health care
One Health is a collective approach that addresses the fact that the health of people is closely related to the health of animals and both are affected by the shared environment.
This concept has been necessitated by the certain changing dynamics. These include;
1.The increasing human population that is settling closer to wildlife habitats. This close contact between human beings and animals in the environment allows for diseases to pass between animals and people.
2.Changing climatic patterns due to global warming causes a disruption in the environment .This exposes animals to diseases more.
3.Increased international travel and trade increases the possibility of diseases spreading across borders.
The One Health approach to work is Communication, Coordination and Collaboration.
