WOAH
The World Organisation for Animal Health (founded as OIE)'s mission is to improve animal health and welfare worldwide. Indeed, animals and animal health systems play a vital role in food security, nutrition, as well as the economic and social wellbeing of humanity. Securing animal health is key to preventing zoonotic diseases and emerging infectious diseases affecting humans, 75% of which are of animal origin. Recognizing this, WOAH has developed international standards on both the quality of Veterinary Services’ provision, as well as technical animal health and veterinary public health management. Two Chapters (3.1 and 3.2) of the WOAH Terrestrial Animal Health Code are dedicated to the Quality of Veterinary Services.
