RE.SEARCH 13: One Health

Posted on November 21, 2025

The 13th issue of RE.SEARCH magazine (One Health) is available now. The digital versions of this award-winning magazine are interactive and include a host of accompanying multimedia.

This edition is curated around the concept of One Health, in which UP plays a leading role globally, and is based on our research expertise in the various disciplines across healthcare for people, the environment and animals. This global advisory role is more than symbolic – it ensures that the world’s solutions are shaped by those who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of Africa.

The University’s One Health journey is rooted in the conviction that health cannot be understood in isolation. It is the outcome of the relationships between people, animals, ecosystems and the socio-economic systems that shape them.

All nine faculties are once again represented, thereby broadening the concept of One Health and sharing multiple perspectives related to One Health. This edition has something to interest everyone.

You can learn more about how One Health perspectives shape our world and society from the tiniest organisms, the food we eat and the cultural or religious worldviews we hold:
