Strengthening One Health through coordinated action on implementation, science, policy and financing

8th April 2026

Summary:
The World Health Organization (WHO) is calling for stronger coordination across implementation, science, policy and financing to advance the One Health approach, which links human, animal and environmental health. The initiative emphasises the importance of cross-sector collaboration to better prevent and respond to global health threats such as pandemics, antimicrobial resistance and climate-related risks. By aligning research, policy frameworks and funding mechanisms, WHO aims to support more effective and sustainable health systems worldwide. The approach encourages countries and partners to work together more closely, ensuring that health challenges are addressed holistically and that resources are used efficiently to improve outcomes for people, animals and ecosystems.
