In 2021, Legado das Águas launched the Single Health Program (PSU) with the aim of contributing to public health in the Ribeira Valley.
Built in partnership with researchers from the Butantan Institute, Faculdade de Medicina do ABC and Universidade Santo Amaro, the program’s principle is to build a network of partners with the technical capacity to share knowledge on topics related to the concept of one health.
The One Health concept, which is institutionalized by the World Health Organization (WHO), considers that human health and animal health – including domestic and wild animals – are interdependent and linked to the health of ecosystems. This principle is fundamental for the control and prevention of numerous diseases, which occur mainly in areas where the population is most vulnerable, as they live with limited access to health services and basic sanitation.
Through the PSU, in addition to the technical knowledge of the partner researchers, all the results generated by the research developed in the Legado das Águas area will be shared with municipalities in the Vale do Ribeira with the aim of promoting training and educational activities for health professionals.
