Abstract

One Health relies on decent partnerships, institutional structures, and a culture that supports One Health's perspectives and goals. The framework of One Health governance is more than accountability but also shared understanding and trust along with an appreciation for different moods and needs. Improved governance is critical to strengthening One Health's capacity. However, most countries need new forms of governance to prepare for the complex challenges and multi-actor responses required to combat infectious and non-infectious diseases. The government's construction and governance capacity building will be the starting point for integrating the concept of One Health into the social governance system and building a One Health governance system. This article reviews the connotations of the legal, governmental, technical, and support systems to show precisely the critical factors related to constructing a One Health governance system. The One Health approach solves complicated health problems from a holistic view of the "human-animal-environment" and improves public health governance performance through operating One Health governance.
