Why OneHEco
According to the ”One Health” approach human health, animal health and the environment are interrelated. Certain human infectious diseases, defined zoonoses, like Ebola, Sars, Covid19, West Nile Fever, Rift Valley Fever, Brucellosis and many others originate from animals.
Protecting animal health and the environment is an effective way to shield humans from major infections, epidemics and pandemics.
Zoonoses and animal infectious diseases represent a substantial menace, both economic and sanitary, especially for low-income countries due to the lack of facilities and resources.
Diagnostic tools are of the foremost importance in dealing with infectious diseases. Expanding access to veterinary diagnostic services in resource-limited settings along with epidemiological monitoring is needed for successful control and prevention of animal infectious diseases and zoonotic diseases.
OneHEco is a non-profit organization involved in finding feasible solutions to help tackling these diseases from a diagnostic perspective.
