Abstract
A holistic paradigm that acknowledges the connection of human health, animal health, and environmental health is what is known as the One Health approach. The purpose of this research study is to investigate the ways in which the One Health paradigm might be utilized to include veterinary medicine into public health and environmental conservation. Within the context of solving complex health concerns that extend beyond species and ecosystems, it investigates the collaborative efforts, key components, and possible impact of this strategy. This study intends to add to a thorough knowledge of the One Health approach and its implications for global health by examining the junction of veterinary medicine, public health, and environmental conservation. Specifically, the research will highlight the convergence of these three fields.
