The important role of Veterinarians is to care about the health and well- being of animals, people, and the environment we share together because animals affect human health. The emergence and re-emergence of unexpected sanitary events is accelerating in the present era of globalization and it is estimated that five new emerging infectious human diseases appear each year, of which three are zoonotic.

The theme for the 2016 World Veterinary Day, celebrated on 30th April 2016, is “Continuing Education with a One Health Focus”. The World Veterinary Day Award is prepared by the WVA and the World Organization of Animal Health (OIE).
