WONCA and OneHealth
One Health recognizes that the health of people is connected to the health of animals and the environment. It is a collaborative, multisectoral, and trans-disciplinary approach—working at the local, regional, national, and global levels—with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment. 

WONCA is pleased to support all aspects of the OneHealth initiative, and all those who heard Dr Kate Anteyi’s plenary at WONCA’s world conference in Korea in October will know how important this interdisciplinary approach is in preventing the next major epidemic.
