🌍 Why India Needs a 'One Health' Approach Now More Than Ever
From Nipah and COVID-19 to rising cases of AMR (antimicrobial resistance), the message is clear — human health doesn’t exist in isolation.
Diseases are no longer just a medical issue. They're deeply tied to how we treat our animals, manage our environment, and plan our cities.
The One Health approach promotes a holistic and collaborative model — integrating human, animal, and environmental health. It calls for:
🔗 Cross-sectoral collaboration
🧬 Multidisciplinary research
🐄 Responsible use of antibiotics in livestock
🏞️ Environmental hygiene
🌡️ Climate-responsive disease surveillance
Whether it’s containing zoonotic diseases or preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics, the solution lies in breaking silos.
In an interconnected world, our health strategies must evolve beyond the clinic — to farms, forests, labs, and legislatures.
Because preventing the next outbreak starts with reimagining health itself.
