4. Course name: One Health/Eco Health, Code: KHU 4024, Credit: 2/0
   Classification: Elective
   Description:
   One Health/Eco Health is an approach that presents an understanding and improvement of health as an outcome of a very complex relationship between social change and the ecosystem; animal health; and human health (Ecosystem Health-Animal Health-Human Health). One health and ecohealth learning emphasizes the importance of understanding the basic concepts of health as part of the basic knowledge (hard skills) and the methods or skills that must be possessed to be able to collaborate across sectors to deal with complex health problems such as emerging infectious diseases, re-emerging infectious diseases and zoonoses through system thinking, transdisciplinary, participatory leadership, management, communication, culture and belief, gender and equity, sustainability and knowledge into action. In today’s global era, everyone is concerned with health in a broad sense as sustainable health. If we are aware of this then we must respect everyone, both present and future generations and moreover, One Health/EcoHealth emphasizes respect for all life to see more from the ecosystem while One Health emphasizes human well-being which includes physical, mental and social excluding freedom from zoonotic diseases.
