Resumen

The "One Health" approach has become a fundamental strategy for addressing health hazards that arise from the interrelationship between people, animals, and the environment. This concept promotes intersectorality and multidisciplinary collaboration to prevent, confront, and control risks that affect the health of people, domestic animals, wildlife, plants, and the environment in an increasingly interconnected world. In this context, the objective of this communication is to highlight the progress made by Cuba in the implementation of the One Health approach. The aim is to analyze the specific actions the country has taken to put this comprehensive health strategy into practice. The analysis of Cuba's initiatives and achievements in this area will allow for a better understanding of how a country can adopt the One Health approach as a too.
