(Adnkronos) - “Iniziative come One Health ci fanno capire quanto è importante avere questo approccio a livello di opinione pubblica, c'è l'attenzione alla salute umana ma anche a quella dei nostri animali domestici e di allevamento, all'ambiente, e all'ecosistema” ha detto Giovanni Leonardi, Capo Dipartimento della salute umana, della salute animale e dell'ecosistema (One Health) e dei Rapporti internazionali, Ministero della Salute, in occasione della conferenza, al Senato della Repubblica, per l’assegnazione dei riconoscimenti e i risultati del report conclusivo della prima edizione del progetto di Boehringer Ingelheim e Edra che promuove “la salute unica” tra medici, farmacisti e veterinari.

00:00What is the importance of this approach?
00:04They are important because they make us understand,
00:07at the level of public opinion,
00:09how important it is to have this approach,
00:11that is, the attention to human health,
00:13but also to that of our animals,
00:16with whom we are, but also of breeding animals,
00:19and how important the environment is, the ecosystem,
00:22because only in this circularity
00:24can we have a better approach
00:26to the protection of our health.
00:28Clearly, for this, however,
00:30there is a need for awareness
00:32on the part of all citizens,
00:34and public opinion, which then encourages
00:36and promotes policies.
00:38Therefore, events like this
00:40serve to circulate the ideas
00:42of this approach
00:44between human health, animal health
00:46and the ecosystem, which is fundamental.
00:48First of all, working together,
00:50making synergy,
00:52precisely because it is a circularity,
00:54it is not a question
00:56that concerns only the Minister of Health
00:58or only the health sector,
01:00but it is an approach
01:02that must concern all policies,
01:04from environmental policy
01:06to agriculture policy,
01:08but also to training,
01:10so it is very important
01:12also the work of schools and universities,
01:14and of course social policies
01:16are fundamental.
01:18So it is a collective approach,
01:20a collective effort.
01:22When we talk about the One Health approach,
01:24it is a collective effort for so many reasons.
