One Health: Using a holistic approach to combat global disease and improve population health
One Health in Bangladesh
One Health is a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. In Bangladesh, where the prevalence of zoonotic diseases, spillover events, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses significant challenges, the One Health approach is gaining momentum. It brings together professionals from various disciplines, including healthcare, veterinary, agriculture, and environmental sciences, to work collaboratively towards improving health outcomes for all.

About Us
In response to the 2007 avian influenza outbreak, Bangladesh initiated intersectoral collaboration, forming a multisectoral task force. Discussions at Chittagong Veterinary Animal Sciences University (CVASU) led to the articulation of a One Health approach. Professionals from various sectors convened in 2008, establishing One Health Bangladesh to coordinate efforts in controlling infectious diseases. The organization played a pivotal role in forming the One Health Alliance of South Asia (OHASA) and Bengal Declaration (2009), fostering collaboration and creating a network for disease surveillance and response.
