The Centre for One Health Education, Research and Development (COHERD), Indian Institute of Public Health Gandhinagar (IIPHG), and the One Health Network of India (OHNI) are organising a creative competition to celebrate One Health Day 2026 on 3 November. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the interconnected health of humans, animals, and the environment and promote the One Health approach to addressing emerging zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and other interconnected health challenges.

The Global South faces growing One Health challenges at the intersection of human, animal, and environmental health, driven by climate change, rapid urbanization, and resource constraints. Addressing these interconnected challenges requires stronger regional collaboration, shared policy priorities, and institutional partnerships through South-South Cooperation.
