Abstract:
Intelligent use of medicines and biocides is essential for ensuring human and animal health including the control of zoonosis (infectious animal diseases transferable to humans) and animal welfare. Current marketing authorization and pharmacovigilance approaches however don't address sustainability. An integrated methodology is vital to address their global impact. A One Health concept is proposed which integrates social, economic and environmental considerations into a single trusted assessment of sustainability based on benefits and risks for humans, animals and ecosystems health.
