The One World One Health (OWOH) concept proposes an international, interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral approach to surveillance, monitoring, prevention, control and mitigation of emerging diseases, as well as to environmental conservation (from OWOH Strategic Framework, 2008).
It recognizes the linkages between animal, human and ecosystem health domains. Broadly stated, the OWOH concept provides a framework for preventing emerging infectious diseases of animal origin, instead of simply responding to them once they have occurred.
International and Canadian experts from academia, government, non-governmental organizations, United Nations organizations, and the private sector gathered together to discuss Contributing to One World One Health: A Strategic Framework for Reducing Risks of Infectious Diseases at the Animal-Human-Ecosystems Interface.
The Strategic Framework was the joint product of six major international organizations: the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization, the World Organisation for Animal Health, the United Nations Children’s Fund, the World Bank, and the United Nations System Influenza Coordination.
The document sets out six priority objectives for countries to consider, such as developing capacity in surveillance, promoting inter-agency and cross-sectoral partnerships, and ensuring functioning national emergency response capacity.
