The First Cuban Congress on "One Health" was held from April 22 to 24, 2025, at the Havana Convention Center in Havana, Cuba. The event brought together delegates from Colombia, Spain, France, Mexico, Angola, Brazil, and Costa Rica, along with ministers and deputy ministers from the Cuban inter-ministerial mechanism linked to this strategy. Its objective was to promote multidisciplinary collaboration between the human, animal, and environmental health sectors. The relevance of this was based on the urgency of integrated public policies to prevent pandemics and ensure sustainability. The urgency of adopting coordinated strategies was emphasized, reflecting the country's commitment to the principles of the health strategy. With the participation of national and international experts, the congress underscored the interdependence of these areas in a globalized world.
