Health and Population Minister Nisha Mehta has stressed the need to strengthen the concept of 'One Health', saying that human health, livestock and the environment are inextricably linked.
Addressing a program organized in Kathmandu on Tuesday on the occasion of World Health Day, Minister Mehta said that humans cannot remain completely healthy unless nature is safe and livestock are healthy. 'Since humans, livestock and the environment are closely linked, we cannot remain completely healthy unless nature is safe and livestock are healthy. Therefore, collaboration between public health, agriculture and livestock and environment sectors is very important,' she said.
She said that non-communicable diseases such as respiratory diseases, cancer, heart disease, and stroke are increasing due to environmental pollution. Similarly, excessive and indiscriminate use of antimicrobial drugs has led to a major crisis of 'antimicrobial resistance'. Minister Mehta emphasized that collaboration among all stakeholders is essential to resolve this.
Minister Mehta urged citizens to pay attention to hygiene, vaccinate pets compulsorily, and use antimicrobial drugs only on the advice of health workers. This year's World Health Day is celebrated with the slogan 'The well-being of humans, animals, and the environment, science, and one health are our victories'.
