This paper argues that One Health, which links human, animal, and environmental health, has focused largely on biomedical issues like zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance while overlooking the social and economic forces behind them. The authors argue that applying a commercial determinants of health (CDoH) lens can enhance the analytical and policy relevance of One Health as CDoH defines how non-public actors, activities and incentives support as well as undermine health.
