The One Health approach recognizes that human wellbeing is inextricably linked to animal and environmental health. This integrated framework has become increasingly crucial as we face global challenges like zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, food security, and climate change. At HSTP, we partner with the state of Odisha to implement their State One Health Action Plan. Our work focuses on building capacity among key departments to address critical infectious diseases including Zoonotic Influenza, Anthrax, and Scrub Typhus through a holistic lens. Our commitment extends beyond Odisha as we work to create resilient communities that understand and act on the interconnections between human, animal, and environmental health. Together, we can build a future where these three pillars of health are protected and enhanced in harmony.
HSTP brings extensive technical expertise to Odisha through strategic partnerships with leading institutions including ICMR-Regional Medical Research Centre and AIIMS Bhubaneswar. Our formal collaboration with the State Health Department enables us to provide comprehensive technical support and capacity building across the state. As the lead capacity building partner for the State Institute of Health & Family Welfare, we facilitate knowledge sharing and strengthen public health practices through the Regional Resource Centre.
Our deep roots in Odisha include strong relationships with government institutions, academic partners, and research agencies. This established network, combined with our understanding of local contexts and proven track record of successful project implementation, allows us to effectively mobilize expertise and resources for improved health outcomes.
HSTP is privileged to support Odisha in becoming India’s first state to operationalize a One Health Action Plan. A cornerstone of this initiative is developing a Model One Health District that integrates cross-sectoral resources and expertise. By fostering collaboration between government agencies, academic institutions, and community organizations, we’re helping Odisha build resilience against climate-related health challenges through the One Health approach.
