The «One Health» approach in Peru

Abstract

“One Health” allows for the collaboration of different disciplines at a local, national, and international level so as to obtain improvements in human, animal, and environmental health. This symposium briefly approaches the application of this concept to the Peruvian context, and describes its interaction in two high-impact zoonotic diseases, antibiotic resistance, development of epidemics, and the attention of patients, problems that primarily affect society, the animals and the environment.
