By Neha MathurJan 24 2023Reviewed by Aimee Molineux In a recent study published in The Lancet, researchers pursued contemporary evidence of how One Health approaches could improve health security at a global scale against unprecedented health hazards, such as the one posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
Related StoriesThe International Health Regulations , an international framework revised in 2007, mandates all the UN member nations to develop core capacities for preventing, detecting and responding to public health emergencies , including zoonoses control because it could adversely affect people's health, travel, and trade globally.
About the study In the present study, researchers reviewed the existing literature, adhering to the classification of hazards to global health security outlined in the WHO Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management framework, to assess specific hazards that would benefit most from a One Health approach. It is a four-series review, in which the first one examines the evidence of the benefits of the One Health approach.
The Berlin Principles of One Health address contemporary issues, such as climate change and antimicrobial resistance, emphasizing their links to sustainable development. In medical literature, the term, One Health appeared in 2005 first to emphasize the added value of more cooperation between animal and human health, unattainable by the punitive approaches alone.
However, the most striking example is the Canadian Integrated Program for Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance , which saved infrastructural resources, was cost-effective, and importantly, reduced the time taken to detect antimicrobial resistance. In 2013, this integrated surveillance system showed the positive effects of regulating antimicrobial use on the Salmonella isolates detected in humans and chickens.
