To mark World Veterinary Day 2021, the International Livestock Research Institute joined a number of international organizations in signing an open letter calling on governments and international agencies to invest in animal health and welfare in order to prevent another pandemic.
The letter, penned by the Action for Animal Health coalition, calls for an immediate injection of funding to map the gaps and train more veterinarians and veterinary paraprofessionals to standards established by the World Organisation for Animal Health.
