AIM OF WORLD VETERINARY YEAR

In 2011, all veterinary institutions will have an opportunity to organize events in their own countries to promote the veterinary profession through the Vet2011 Global Initiative.

The main aim is to improve public awareness and remind policymakers everywhere in the world that:
-- The veterinary profession has been serving humankind for 250 years;
-- Modern veterinarians are not only animal doctors and animal welfare advocates, they are also key public health stakeholders because of their crucial role in:
-- promoting food security by supervising animal production hygiene,
-- controlling zoonoses,
-- monitoring food quality and safety,
-- biomedical research,
-- protecting the environment and biodiversity.
