WORLD VETERINARY DAY

 Author: Anushka Chavan

Hello everyone.

Welcome back to my blog.

My name is Anushka Chavan, and today we are going to talk about WORLD VETERINARY DAY.

So, let's start reading the blog now!

The World Veterinary Day, is annually celebrated on the last Saturday of April. This year (2021), it will fall on 24th April. The WVA and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) get up with a theme every year to create awareness on the importance of vets.

Now, let's see what is the theme this year. The continuing COVID-19 pandemic is caused due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has changed life as we know it and significantly affected the global human and animal populations. Yet, through this challenging time, veterinary medicine is meaningfully and rapidly evolved, demonstrating veterinarian’s ability to cope, adjust, and adapt and to continue in their role as

leaders of animal health and welfare and public health

Let's now see what is the Award. The WVA Member Association that undertakes activities that best embody this theme, will be decided with the World Veterinary Day Award. Provided by the World Veterinary Association and Health for Animals, the award is open to all WVA. Veterinary Associations, that submit evidence of activities that demonstrate their support of the WVDA 2021 Theme will include local campaigns, educational seminars for the public, new research, or anything else that promotes the veterinarian reply to the COVID-19 crisis. The Award value of USD 3500 will be provided directly to the Association, which may use it for activities such as reward hard-working staff, provide scholarships, support their community, etc.

I hope you liked the blog.
