PERFORMANCE OF THE VETERINARIAN IN MULTIPROFESSIONAL TEAMS: PRINCIPLES AND DESCRIPTION OF EXPERIENCES IN SINGLE HEALTH

Abstract

Veterinary Medicine emerges, in the first instance, as a promoter of the health of animals, trying to reduce damage caused by the diseases that affected them. However, with the passage of time and with the emergence of Preventive Veterinary Medicine, they also began to be used for this knowledge to promote human health. The One Health concept highlights the interconnection and inseparability between animal, human and environmental health, involving preventive actions in an interprofessional and collaborative way for the control of diseases and other health issues, since, with integrated action between different knowledge, there is a greater capacity to meet the sanitary and environmental needs of a given place. It is up to the Veterinarian to seek solutions and encourage the adoption of prophylactic measures that promote health, as well as to guide the population about the possible risks they are exposed to, with the objective of eliminating diseases and establishing adequate safety of the environment in general. Thus, the present work deals precisely with actions on this theme, which enabled the insertion of the Veterinarian in Multiprofessional teams, as well as the participation in health actions, promoting the dissemination of knowledge to the community in general.
