On this World International Day of Environmental Health, we honor the legacy of Edwin Chadwick, whose groundbreaking work paved the way for understanding the vital connection between our environment and our health. From his humble beginnings, the "One Health" concept was born—an idea that echoes in the 2023 SOHICOHE slogan: "One Health, One Planet."
Edwin Chadwick's hypothesis in the 19th century emphasized how unsanitary environments contributed to disease. His work laid the foundation for modern environmental health practices, showing us that we share one planet and one health.
Today, as we celebrate "One Health, One Planet," we renew our commitment to safeguarding our environment for a healthier world. Let us honor Chadwick's legacy by working together to ensure that the health of our planet is inextricably linked to our own.
