One Health be an approach wey dey call for "de collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, den globally, to attain optimal health give people, animals den wona environment", as defined by de One Health Initiative Task Force (OHITF).[1] E develop in response to evidence of de spreading of zoonotic diseases between species den increasing awareness of "de interdependence of human den animal health den ecological change".[2]: 205 [3] Insyd dis viewpoint, public health no longer be seen insyd purely human terms.[4][5] Secof a shared environment den highly conserved physiology, animals den humans no only suffer from de same zoonotic diseases buh sanso fi be treated by either structurally related anaa identical drugs. For dis reason, special care for be taken to avoid unnecessary anaa over-treatment of zoonotic diseases, particularly insyd de context of drug resistance insyd infectious microbes.[6] De One Health concept be prevalent insyd scientific research den dey highlight de close interconnection among human, animal, den environmental health, wich for be examined collectively to address global health challenges effectively.[7]
A number of organizations thru out de world support de objectives of "One Health" wey dey include de One Health Commission (OHC), One Health Initiative, One Health Platform, CDC One Health Office, Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists (SIDP), den de Quadripartite Organizations. De Quadripartite Organizations be:
- De Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),
- De World Health Organization (WHO),
- De World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, formerly OIE),
- den de United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)),[8] den odas.

In particular, de One Health High Level Expert Panel, an independent advisory group to de Quadripartite Organizations,[8] provide a comprehensive definition of One Health, whereby:
"One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of humans, animals, plants and ecosystems. It recognizes the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent. The approach mobilizes multiple sectors, disciplines and communities at varying levels of society to work together to foster well-being and tackle threats to health and ecosystems, while addressing the collective need for clean water, energy and air, safe and nutritious food, taking action on climate change, and contributing to sustainable development."[8]
