Workshop: Veterinary Education Establishments and Veterinary Statutory Bodies in South Asia and Iran

Header

Introduction

Veterinary education establishments (VEEs) and veterinary statutory bodies (VSBs) play a key role in ensuring the effectiveness of veterinary professionals and delivery of competent Veterinary Services (VS). The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE) organised a sub-regional workshop for South Asian Members and Iran (comprising a “sub-region”) inviting representatives from VEEs, VSBs, veterinary authorities and veterinary medical associations.  The sub-regional workshop was organised virtually on 19 and 20 April 2022, from 2:00 to 5:00 PM Japan time. The objective of the workshop was to promote shared thinking and actions based on the exchange of visions, experiences, documentation, research and technical cooperation on veterinary education at sub-regional level.
