The Singapore One Health Master Plan (ONEHealthSG) sets out a national framework to strengthen health resilience through an integrated One Health approach that recognises the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health. The Master Plan aims to anticipate, prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from shared health threats. It builds on Singapore’s One Health framework established in 2012 and is supported by the One Health Coordinating Committee (OHCC), the One Health Work Group (OHWG), and the One Health Office (OHO). The framework is developed around the core principles of collaboration, coordination, communication, and capacity building and involves the Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA), Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), National Environment Agency (NEA), PUB, and the Singapore Food Agency (SFA). The Master Plan is organised around three strategic pillars. The first pillar, Engagements, focuses on communications, networking, and leadership. It provides for public awareness messaging, risk communication planning, stakeholder engagement, and the development of local and international networks. The framework promotes participation in regional and global initiatives and alignment with international One Health platforms, including engagement with organisations such as FAO, WHO, WOAH, and UNEP. The second pillar, Sector Development, focuses on partnerships and education. Measures include collaboration among government agencies, academia, industry, and community organisations to operationalise One Health principles. The Master Plan supports One Health laboratories and services, interdisciplinary education, workforce development, professional training, and the adaptation of competency frameworks for One Health field epidemiology. The document identifies key competency areas including disease management, surveillance systems, biosafety and infection control, risk assessment and management, zoonotic disease management, environmental health assessment, antimicrobial resistance, biosecurity, wildlife health and conservation, food safety and security, and contingency planning. The third pillar, Insights, focuses on research, data, and surveillance. The Master Plan provides for the development of a One Health research and development programme, multidisciplinary research collaboration, prioritisation of One Health research areas, and translation of research findings into policy and practical applications. It promotes cross-sectoral data sharing and integration to support joint risk assessment, information analysis, early warning systems, and coordinated responses. The surveillance component provides for integrated monitoring across human, animal, and environmental health sectors, including collaborative surveillance, laboratory technologies, wastewater surveillance, zoonotic disease surveillance, antimicrobial resistance monitoring, and contingency planning based on shared data and cross-agency coordination. The document also includes case studies relating to zoonotic diseases, wildlife health, biosurveillance, vector-borne diseases, and antimicrobial resistance to illustrate applications of the One Health approach in Singapore.
