Methods: A development research was carried out based on the "One Health" approach in the professional performance of the 28 basic health teams that make up "Reina" Teaching Polyclinic, located in Los Sitios Popular Council, Centro Habana Municipality. The review of the disaster reduction plan and the study program of the Comprehensive General Medicine residency was carried out and a survey was applied to medical and nursing professionals. Three dimensions and eleven indicators were assessed.

Results: The main problems were detected in the plans and modes of professional performance, professional and personal practical activity, the development of support materials, and low participation in training courses, scientific events and research projects. The dimensión called "improvement"  was the most affected.

Conclusions: Perfecting the work of the basic health team from the "One Health" approach allows a good professional performance and compliance with current regulations to improve the planning and organization of the disaster risk reduction process in the polyclinic.
