Description
Summary:	Some of the barriers hampering implementation in countries include fragmented and disconnected governance of health, animal health and environment, lack of clarity about the definition, concept and scope of One Health approach, under-recognition of its economic benefits, absence of an agreement between health, veterinary and environment professionals on way forward and inadequate training activities[9]. Framework for effective implementation of One Health incorporates political commitment, policy formulation, sustainable financing, programme development, knowledge sharing, institutional collaboration, capacity enhancement, engagement of civil society and active participation of the communities. Research needs to be promoted and encouraged for a better understanding of risk management, economic implications, improving intersectoral coordination and translating global best practices into national action plans to provide policy inputs and help in the development of cost-effective interventions.
