Abstract

One health is an integrated, unifying approach to balance and optimize the health of people, animals, and ecosystems [1]. This concept emphasizes collaboration across fields like medicine, veterinary science, environmental science, and public health. It's crucial for addressing complex issues like zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, food safety, and global challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss. By promoting cooperation among diverse sectors, One Health aims to enhance prediction, prevention, and response to health challenges. It adopts a holistic view of health, focusing on prevention over treatment, and considers the impact of health issues on social stability, economy, and security. The ancient practice of Ayurveda, with its comprehensive view of health and emphasis on a balanced relationship with nature, resonates well with the One Health concept.
