Abstract

One Health as integrated approach to link human, animal and environmental health has become current by the COVID-19 pandemic. Its veterinary and medical scientific and occidental cultural origin raises several paradoxes. Health is culturally constructed whereas the reductionist medical sciences focus on disease and reducing health hazards. Critical reflection on the ontology and epistemology underlying the One Health approach, actors and activities, assists in identifying strategic directions to further shape One Health. To incorporate eco-health and societal health calls for a Systemic One Health approach, requiring different leadership structures, community-based approaches and political engagement. Health hazard risk reduction and preparedness and response are non-systemic activities, but no less important to pursue.
