Veterinarians competencies must be regarded as an essential and integral part of health at

large. The application of veterinary science contributes not only to animal health and well-
being but also to humans physical, mental and social well-being.

This dimension of the veterinarians’ work often remains invisible to the society but
protecting and improving the health of people and their communities is an essential part of
the vet profession.

All graduated veterinarians have unergone comprehensive medical training, and regardless of
their professional area of practice, are responsible, for promoting public health and food
safety and security.

Applications are now open for the World Veterinary Day Award, which honours one WVA
Member’s activities related to 2024’s theme.
