One Health is based upon the core principle of collaboration and interdisciplinary work when relating to public health- specifically communicable diseases and illnesses. The One Health framework was initially established to address the transmittance of disease from animal reservoirs to human vectors. When animals, humans, and the environment coexist in various areas of life, emphasis should be placed on their codependency and interactions- both healthy and potentially threatening. The COVID-19 pandemic has further enhanced the need for an interdisciplinary workforce in all public health sectors to combat future threats and address the impacts of the recent pandemic. One Health is not only rooted in disease prevention, but also in solutions. Doctors, veterinarians, politicians, public health workers, and all other stakeholders must increase communication to establish such a framework. Once accepted by stakeholders, the One Health framework can be utilized in addressing both communicable illnesses and non-communicable illnesses. In this paper, the background and usage of the One Health framework will be analyzed, and case studies, such as food security and maternal and child health, and associated problems and solutions will be outlined through a One Health framework, one that is not conventionally applied to such non-communicable issues. |
