[Conception and practice of "One Health"]

Ongoing COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of concept of "One Health" in addressing major global public health problems and human health concerns. "One Health" refers to using an integrated, unifying approach to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems through multi-sector, multi-discipline and trans-region collaboration. In this paper, we systematically elaborate on "One Health" in terms of its conception, research area and its practice in China and put forward policy suggestions for the implementation of "One Health" in China, so as to facilitate the realization of the goals of "Healthy China 2030".
