Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dear authors, the world has experienced several health crises during modern history. The role of wars and globally distributed maladies have put much pressure on health systems. The world is continually experiencing massive migration, urban expansion, unequal economic growth, and poverty, affecting local populations and creating new and dynamic public health scenarios.
In this sense, the one-health approach towards a more sustainable health system becomes a must in cities and communities with a complex scenario among the environment, nature, animals, and human health.
This special issue explores the complex connections between humans, animals and the environment within countries and cities aiming to become more sustainable in terms of equal access to health services.
We are inviting researches from all over the world to submit their work related to the role of contamination and its impact on public health, the role of animal health on the development of human, Enabling Change for Health Improvement in a more sustainable environment.
The readers of this special issue will analyze the reasons behind the distribution of health and the broader determinants of health within and between communities.
To evaluate health improvement interventions, the implications for change across the health and care system, recognizing the complexity of health improvement.
To analyze the components of intersectoral collaborative working and community engagement in health improvement and discuss key stakeholders' importance when tackling contemporary public health issues.
