Strengthening disease surveillance and adopting a One Health approach are crucial for global health. Surveillance involves data collection, analysis, and interpretation to detect and track diseases. By improving surveillance, PATH plans to enhance early detection, response, and prevention of infectious diseases, enabling targeted interventions. One Health approach recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, requiring collaboration across disciplines. This holistic approach acknowledges that health challenges require joint efforts from various stakeholders. Integrating One Health principles into surveillance identifies emerging zoonotic diseases and develops strategies to mitigate risks, promote sustainability, and safeguard well-being.
