“One Health is all about bringing better human, animal and environmental health. It is an approach that brings together professionals from different disciplines for a common goal. I think that One Health is the best approach we have on this planet to respond to all health challenges in humans, animals, and the environment. For my profession, One Health is an opportunity to learn and act with my colleagues coming from different academic disciplines and it is an opportunity for me to share how becoming a veterinarian could have impact in the advancement of the One Health approach globally. One Health makes me always look towards a better world with better health for all species.”
