One Health

'One Health' is an approach to designing and implementing programmes, policies, legislation and research in which multiple sectors communicate and work together to achieve better public health outcomes. The ‘One Health’ approach is critical to addressing health threats in the animal, human and environment interface.

The areas of work in which a One Health approach is particularly relevant include:

food safety
control of zoonotic diseases
laboratory services
neglected tropical diseases
environmental health
antimicrobial resistance

All these areas cover complex issues that require close collaboration across sectors, stakeholders and countries.

WHO works closely with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) to promote multisectoral responses to public health threats originating in the animal-human-environment interface and to provide technical advice on how to reduce these risks.

The collaboration between the 3 organizations has been formalized in a Tripartite Commitment and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen their long-standing partnership.
