20110565 - Activity: “One Health” health protection beyond national and disciplinary borders.

The course builds on the genesis and evolution of the interdisciplinary scientific approach called One Health, consecrated since the Manhattan Principles on ‘One World, One Health’ of 2004 and based on the recognition of the indissoluble interdependence between human, animal and ecosystem health, to deepen the ultra-national and ultra-sectoral dimension of the right to health.

The activity aims to develop in the student the awareness of the importance of the supranational dimension of the right to health due to the interdependence that connects the health of all the inhabitants of the planet, now evident in the light of the tragic pandemic experience, and of the specific role played in this context by the cooperative, intersectoral and coordinated method called “One Health”, widely recognised as crucial to prevent pandemics and address health risks originating at the human, animal and environment interface.
