We are a nonprofit nongovernmental organization working to promote education, advocacy, research, and solutions to interrelated issues of human, animal, and ecosystem health through the integrated One Health approach.
Who We Are

Therefore, in implementing our various activities through community-based impact programs, media, advocacy, and research, the core values of “One Health” are consistently integrated to achieve sustainable impact.
