One Health |
The “One Health” concept is a strategy for interdisciplinary collaboration in human and veterinary medicine. This approach has shown substantial added value in zoonoses control and health service provision among mobile pastoralists. Recently, “One Health” approaches have been extended to include an ecological dimension. The newly formed concept of health in social-ecological systems has become a key area of research at Swiss TPH. It emphasises the inextricable links between human and animal health and their ecosystem.
