Integrated approaches to health such as One Health are needed to tackle complex problems that cannot be solved by a single discipline or country, such as climate change, biodiversity loss or antimicrobial resistance. The Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), one of the international pioneers in One Health with its African partners, the Institute of Global Health at the University of Geneva, which has also adopted One Health, and other activities in Berne and Zurich, make Switzerland a hub for One Health research and development worldwide. This article summarizes the development of the One Health approach in Switzerland, and uses examples to demonstrate its added value.
