zoonosis
Zoonotic diseases are infectious illnesses transmitted between animals and humans, and it disproportionately affect impoverished communities in low-income countries. Some of the most common zoonoses are prevalent among poor livestock workers, it has severe implications for both human health and the livelihoods of those on the margins.
These diseases pose a substantial threat due to weak surveillance, limited awareness, and inadequate data, leading to underestimated burdens in developing nations like Nigeria.
As we delve into addressing neglected zoonotic diseases, we must prioritize building robust surveillance systems, raising awareness, and fostering collaborative efforts to alleviate the impact of these diseases on the world's most vulnerable populations.
These diseases impact human health in diverse ways, ranging from acute, life-threatening conditions like rabies to chronic illnesses with long-term consequences, emphasizing the importance of a One Health approach to address their complex dynamics.

Antimicrobial Resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a growing global threat to public health, demanding urgent and collaborative action.
This phenomenon, fueled by overuse and misuse of antimicrobials across human, animal, and environmental sectors, jeopardizes the efficacy of these life-saving drugs. AMR leads to treatment failures, increased healthcare costs, and heightened mortality rates.
A One Health perspective, recognizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, is crucial in tackling this multifaceted issue.
The fight against AMR necessitates a unified front, transcending disciplinary boundaries. By adopting a One Health solution, we can safeguard the effectiveness of antimicrobials, protect public health, and ensure a sustainable future.

Environmental health and conservation
In the face of escalating environmental challenges, the One Health concept emerges as a beacon of hope, advocating a synergistic approach to safeguarding the health of humans, animals, and the planet.
This collaborative strategy, bridging disciplines of medicine, ecology, and conservation, is imperative for addressing interconnected global threats.
One Health encourages collaboration between scientists, policymakers, and communities to develop holistic solutions for a healthier planet.
Embracing the One Health approach is not merely a choice but a necessity in our quest for a sustainable and resilient future and by integrating environmental conservation into health strategies, we pave the way for a harmonious coexistence of all living beings.
