6 ONE HEALTH STRATEGIC PLANVIOne HEALTH is an approach to designing and implementing programs, policies, legislations and research in which multiple sectors plan, communicate and work together to achieve better public HEALTH outcomes for the human, animal, and environment sectors. The world is confronted with a recurrent epidemics and other public HEALTH events that impact negatively on human HEALTH but whose origin may be traced to non-human sources. Disease occurrence and spread is related to environmental factors, animal HEALTH , climate change and other human activities such as travel, urbanisation and globalisation.

7 Diseases at the human-animal ecosystem interface ( zoonotic diseases, water/food borne diseases, vector borne diseases) continue to pose threats to humans and animals with increasingly significant morbidity and mortality. Worse still, of the estimated 1400 diseases known to affect man, 60% are of animal (zoonotic) origin. Similarly, of the emerging infectious diseases reported globally, 75% are of zoonotic nature. In Nigeria, catastrophic effects of zoonotic diseases such as Ebola, Lassa fever, Dengue, rabies and yellow fever have been reported in the last 5 years.

8 The increased burden of zoonotic diseases is a result of increasing human population growth and therefore increased need for food (need for farming and animal as sources of food), human encroachment on ecosystems that are high risk for diseases transmission, closer integration with animals /wildlife and rapid urbanisation. It is therefore imperative that we embrace the One HEALTH approach to confront the ever-increasing disease burden affecting Africa in general and Nigeria in microbes co-exist with animals and humans.

9 Considering the impact of the human-animal-ecosystem interface on HEALTH , the need for a coordinated multi-sectoral approach to address the attendant HEALTH risks associated with such interface has been emphasized. A One HEALTH approach is known to be important in most spheres of public HEALTH such as food safety, control of zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, surveillance , outbreak response and human resource strengthening. In Nigeria, some strides have been made in implementing a One HEALTH approach and these include the successful control of epidemic-prone diseases like H5N1 avian influenza , Ebola virus diseases, Monkey pox, Lassa fever and yellow fever.

10 The Nigeria Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program, a public HEALTH workforce development strategy, is also an important intervention aimed at promoting the One HEALTH approach which continuously builds the capacity of medical doctors, veterinarians, laboratory scientists and environmental scientists especially in outbreak control and line with the Global HEALTH Security Agenda (GHSA), the Federal Government has FOREWORDFEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ONE HEALTH STRATEGIC PLANVII taken the initiative leveraging on the gains already made, by institutionalising One HEALTH within the structures of relevant MDAs.
