One Health Day, created in 2016, is an international campaign coordinated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other global health bodies, is observed annually on November 3rd. This event aims to raise awareness about the One Health concept, which recognizes the interconnectedness of the health of people, animals, and our environment.
As a leading health organization, the CDC plays a pivotal role in promoting One Health Day. This day serves as a platform to highlight the CDC's efforts in addressing complex health challenges at the human-animal-environment interface. These challenges include zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, food safety, and environmental health issues.
One Health Day encourages collaboration among various disciplines – including human medicine, veterinary medicine, environmental science, and public health – to improve health outcomes. In collaboration with national and international partners, the CDC organizes events and activities such as educational webinars, community outreach programs, and research symposiums to promote a One Health approach.
The CDC's involvement in One Health Day is part of its broader commitment to a One Health approach, including research and surveillance on zoonotic diseases (diseases that can spread between animals and humans), efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance, and initiatives to ensure food and water safety.
One Health Day also highlights the importance of a global health and disease management approach. The CDC collaborates with international organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), to address global health challenges that transcend national borders.
