No results found.The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the lives of individuals, communities, and societies around the world, including those working in the animal health sector. To further examine the impact of COVID-19 on the activities of animal health workers and their ability to report animal disease, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Emergency Management Centre for Animal Health (EMC-AH) and Emergency Prevention System for Animal Health (EMPRES-AH) conducted surveys to collect and analyze data on the topic. To do so, EMPRES-AH designed a survey using the Event Mobile Application (EMA-i) tool, which was developed by FAO to support veterinary services in real-time disease reporting, whereas EMC-AH developed a specific survey for veterinary services that was circulated through national Chief Veterinarian Officers (CVOs) with support from FAO regional offices. This brief presents a breakdown of both surveys, the methodology behind them and a summary of the feedback. -

Report of a technical consultation 25-27 March 1997

No results found.Veterinary medicine's primary roots are in agriculture, public health and comparative biology. Raising livestock productivity to enhance food security, improving human health by preventing zoonotic diseases and studying mechanisms of diseases affecting humans and other animals have been unifying themes for organized veterinary medicine with the aim of improving living standards, human-well being and animal welfare. The problem of food insecurity in some countries is partly related to the low productivity of local livestock.Following a worldwide electronic conference on the subject, an FAO Technical Consultation (held in Rome from 25 to 27 March 1997) and involving national veterinary officers from five sub-Saharan African countries, representatives of funding agencies, international organizations and expert consultants, debated, revised and approved changes to a draft document entitled Principles for rational delivery of public and private veterinary services with reference to Africa together with an annex entitled Negotiating framework for rationalizing delivery of public and private veterinary services.This, the revised document, is now published and it is hoped that the agreed economic, professional, technical and sociological principles will be used by government officials, public and private sector veterinarians, private industry, consultants, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international development agencies as a guide and framework to change, strengthen and develop the rational delivery of veterinary services within each country as required.
