University Name: One Health Policy Report - Global Health Perspective

This report analyzes the One Health Policy, a concept emphasizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. The report explores the policy's goals of conserving biodiversity, preventing disease re-emergence, and regulating international trade to mitigate risks. It examines strategies such as family planning and deforestation prevention to promote sustainable practices. The report highlights the importance of implementing the policy at the grassroots level and introduces the "One Medicine One Science" concept, which underscores the relevance of medical knowledge across species. References to key sources are included, providing a comprehensive overview of the One Health Policy and its implications for global health.

ONE HEALTH POLICY
Answer 1:
One Health Policy is new concept altogether. The policy will cover the sustainable
interactions between the human, animal and the environment. Such sustainable interactions
will conserve the bio-diversity and will preserve the equilibrium in between the species
richness and species diversity. The policy will also try to prevent the reemergence of the fatal
bacteria and virus borne disease via maintaining the equilibrium between the species level.
Policy will also impose certain restriction in international trade and frequent international
journey in order to prevent the transmission of the deadly viruses and bacteria from the
immigrants (One Health Global Network 2017).
Answer 2:
The overall between the animal, human and wildlife will be addressed in the policy via
observing two basic step:
1. Try to resist the ever-expanding human population via implementing family planning.
This will decrease the chances of human living in close contact with the wild and
domestic animals. This decrease in the prevalence of the close contact survival will
prevent the disease transmission between occurring in between human and animals.
2. Prevent deforestation: It will conserve the equilibrium between the environments and
will protect the natural resources from getting lost completely. The conservation of
the environment leads to the conservation of the habitat, decreasing the probability of
close contact survival (cdc.gov 2017).

ONE HEALTH POLICY
Answer 3:
This policy must be established at the very basic level of government. Establishment
and the application of the one health policy at the grass root level will help to achieve better
outcome and will also promote sustainable use if the natural resources. Such sustainable use
will further conserve the natural resources (Chatterjee et al 2016).
Answer 4:
One Medicine One Science (COMOS).
It is established on the idea that the general biological processes that is underlying the
health and the fatal diseases, share some common features. This concept will lead to the
foundation that the medical knowledge and expertise in one species is equally relevant and
applicable over the other species, which is distantly or closely related (Cardona et al 2015).
