The One Health approach recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health and emphasizes the importance of collaboration across disciplines to address global health challenges. Rapid communication between human and animal health professionals, researchers, policymakers and stakeholders is essential for sharing critical data, coordinating response efforts and disseminating public health messages. Effective communication networks ensure that response efforts are well-coordinated and that resources are allocated efficiently to address emerging health threats. This review explores the application of the One Health approach in emergency disease preparedness, focusing on the integration of human and animal health systems. By examining existing literature and case studies, the review aims to identify key principles and strategies for implementing a One Health approach, highlighting the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration, surveillance and communication networks in mitigating the impact of health crises on both human and animal populations [1]. The One Health approach represents a paradigm shift in addressing complex health challenges by recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health. In the context of emergency disease preparedness, this approach emphasizes the importance of integrating human and animal health systems to effectively respond to emerging infectious diseases and other health crises. As demonstrated by past outbreaks such as Ebola, Zika virus and avian influenza, diseases affecting both humans and animals can have devastating consequences on public health, food security and economic stability [2]. By leveraging the expertise of multiple disciplines and fostering collaboration across sectors, the One Health approach aims to enhance surveillance, early detection and rapid response capabilities, thereby mitigating the impact of health crises on both human and animal populations [3]. By examining existing literature, case studies and best practices, the review aims to identify key principles and strategies for implementing a One Health approach, highlighting the benefits of interdisciplinary collaboration, surveillance and communication networks in safeguarding both human and animal populations against health crises.
The One Health approach offers a holistic and collaborative framework for addressing global health challenges, including emergency disease preparedness. By integrating human and animal health systems, the approach enables early detection, rapid response and effective management of emerging infectious diseases. Interdisciplinary collaboration between human and animal health sectors fosters information sharing, resource mobilization and coordinated response efforts, thereby mitigating the impact of health crises on both human and animal populations [4]. Despite its benefits, the implementation of the One Health approach faces several challenges. These include institutional barriers, funding constraints and cultural differences between human and animal health sectors. Overcoming these challenges requires sustained political commitment, investment in capacity-building initiatives and the development of collaborative partnerships at local, national and international levels. In addition, the One Health approach offers a comprehensive and collaborative framework for emergency disease preparedness, integrating human and animal health systems to effectively respond to emerging health threats. The One Health approach serves as a powerful framework for addressing the complexities of emergency disease preparedness, particularly in the context of emerging infectious diseases that affect both human and animal populations. By integrating human and animal health systems, this approach facilitates a comprehensive understanding of disease dynamics and enables coordinated response efforts to mitigate the impact of health crises. One of the key advantages of the One Health approach is its emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration. By bringing together professionals from diverse fields such as human and animal medicine, epidemiology, environmental science and public health, the approach fosters information sharing, resource mobilization and joint decision-making. This collaboration allows for a more holistic assessment of disease risks and enables the development of integrated surveillance and response strategies that consider the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental factors [5]. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, enhancing surveillance capacities and promoting communication networks, the approach strengthens the resilience of communities against health crises and contributes to the protection of both human and animal populations. Continued investment in One Health initiatives is essential to address the evolving challenges of emergency disease preparedness and to build a safer and more resilient future for all.
The integration of human and animal health systems within the One Health approach is essential for emergency disease preparedness. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, surveillance and communication networks, the approach enables early detection, rapid response and effective management of emerging infectious diseases. Continued investment in One Health initiatives and partnerships is necessary to enhance preparedness and resilience against health crises, ultimately safeguarding both human and animal populations. Surveillance systems play a critical role in emergency disease preparedness and the One Health approach promotes the development of surveillance networks that monitor both human and animal populations. Integrated surveillance systems enable early detection of disease outbreaks and facilitate targeted intervention strategies to contain the spread of pathogens. By monitoring animal populations for signs of disease, veterinarians can provide early warnings of potential zoonotic threats, allowing public health authorities to implement preventive measures to protect human health.
