    A day to reflect and celebrate – World Veterinary Day

    By admin | News & Opinions | Comments are Closed | 23 April, 2015 | 0

    World Veterinary Day (25 April) is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the contributions and achievements of the veterinary profession to society.

    Our profession occupies unique territory. Human quality of life is not only enhanced by, but entirely dependent on the health and well-being of animals.

    We encourage all those working in the veterinary profession to take time out on 25 April to celebrate with your colleagues  and to let us know how you plan to mark the day. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the work we do every day, enhancing the health and welfare of people and animals, your local community, as well as the economy and wider society.

    This year’s theme highlights a major global health issue vector-borne diseases with a zoonotic potential and the central role of veterinarians at the animal-human-environment intersection. It is also a prime example of the One World One Health concept as veterinarians and physicians work collaboratively to prevent and treat vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue.

    The World Veterinary Association, which began World Veterinary Day as an annual celebration in 2000, says vector-borne zoonotic diseases account for about 17% of all infectious diseases, causing more than 1 million deaths each year. Malaria alone causes 600 000 deaths a year worldwide
