One Health
The Interdependence Of Human, Animal, And
Environmental Health
One Health is a holistic approach to health issues, mainly communicable diseases, that acknowledges the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health. It addresses a variety of challenges, including food and water safety, pollution management, mitigating antimicrobial resistance, and preventing the spread of diseases between animals and humans.
The World Health Organization (WHO) established the One Health Initiative to integrate efforts and promote collaboration among organizations, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH).
One Health relies on cross-sector and cross-discipline collaboration, including the public health, veterinary, and environmental sectors, to effectively address health concerns at the human-animal-ecosystem interface. Raising awareness and encouraging multidisciplinary cooperation and participation is essential to tackling One Health issues.

Message from the Chair, C20 India 2023
Our Inspiration
Amma sees the whole world as a flower. Each petal represents a nation. If one petal is infested with pests, it will affect the other petals as well. The beauty of the whole flower suffers. It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to protect and nurture this flower. All living beings in creation are interdependent. The rhythm of Nature depends upon humanity. It’s necessary to maintain the rhythm of the mind and body for the sake of our health and lifespan, for the sake of humankind and Nature.
Amma,
Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi ❤️
