| description | Abstract We attended the 8th WOHC between the 20th and 23rd of September 2024 in Cape Town, South Africa and we provide here our feedback with a specific perspective on the policy implications. The One Health approach still needs to go beyond diseases and to embrace a truly holistic definition of health in both its pathogenic and salutogenic components. This broader definition of health should be applied to all human groups with more equity and inclusivity, to non-human animals, as sentient beings, and to ecosystems and the environment in a more integrated way. One Health impact statement Given our multidisciplinary expertise and varied interests, we hope to have grasped the quintessence of the 8th World One Health congress in Cape Town in September 2024 and may therefore be able to provide a fair impression, albeit necessarily biased and personal. Our reflections below will be guided by the One Health High Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) foundational principles of the new One Health definition (Mettenleiter et al., 2023). |
