A One Health approach strengthens responses to both unexpected threats and known risks. RTI International weighs in on how local leadership can unlock the full potential for stronger health systems.

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, we’re now facing a newly evolved highly pathogenic (HPAI) H5N1, also known as “bird flu.” This new clade 2.3.4.4b is extremely worrisome.

“… Dr Mittal stresses the need for India to develop its own National Action Plan (NAP) tailored to local epidemiological data and socio-economic realities. She highlights One Health, an integrated approach addressing AMR through the interconnected health of humans, animals, and the environment. …”

“ … How are studies on pandemics or One-health related to your field of research?

I believe these late effects are important in pandemic research. Long COVID has shown that we need to be interested in the acute situation, which is major with all the countermeasures and the lockdowns. At the same time, it is important to be interested in the chronic sequels afterwards. What we are seeing now eventually is a kind of long COVID pandemic in the aftermath of the acute pandemic, which of course is also part of the greater picture. So, I think it is pertinent for the One-Health initiative to be interested in these long-term effects as well. By this,I mean that in addition to being interested in the biological mechanisms pertaining to the infection and immunity, we should also be interested in, for instance, the mental, psychological and social phenomena that occur simultaneously.

In the study we published, we found that in the group that did not have COVID, there was also a large number of people with chronic fatigue and other chronic problems. We believe this was partly due to the more general pandemic effect on society. The anxiety related to the situation, the lockdowns, and the social isolation people experienced. All this has consequences for symptoms. This is therefore very complex and very interesting also from a societal perspective.

How would you describe a research in three words?

With three words it is multidisciplinary, it is rooted in the clinical world as partly observational and partly clinical trials. I hope it is of high quality and that it is something that will contribute to the understanding of this phenomenon.  …”

Conclusion

Antimicrobial resistance is a test of our collective ability to tackle interconnected and complex challenges. A One Health approach provides a comprehensive framework for addressing AMR but demands bold leadership, enforceable commitments, and steadfast collaboration among governments, industries, and civil society. With the right actions, AMR can be curbed, protecting lives, ecosystems, and economies for generations to come.
