As a flagship programme of WOAH (founded as OIE), the PVS Pathway is an independent, country-driven, stage-by-stage process of system evaluation and planning to strengthen a country’s Veterinary Services (VS) in compliance with the WOAH’s International Standards on the quality of VS.
WOAH organised a training on the PVS Tool (2010 version (5th edition) with 46 Critical Competencies) for China in 2012. Since then, China has adapted the PVS Tool (2013 version) to the sub-national level and conducted self-evaluation activities in provinces and piloted at the county level.
Considering the revision of the PVS Tool (2019 version) and PVS Gap Analysis methodologies under revision, WOAH and China agreed to organise a PVS Orientation workshop before a presential training on PVS Gap Analysis. This workshop deeply covered the 7th Edition of the PVS Tool which contains new Critical Competencies on antimicrobial resistance and use and Veterinary Clinical Services. In addition, some general PVS Gap Analysis methodologies were covered. This workshop targeted a selection of representatives from provincial VS and research institutes and universities in China.
The Orientation workshop was planned to be organised in 2 phases: Phase 1 – Information Session on PVS updates and introduction to PVS Gap Analysis in a virtual modality in 2022 and Phase 2 – Training with exercises and competency building in the physical modality in 2023.
Date: 17-20 October 2023
Location: Qingdao, P.R. China
