Dear friends and colleagues working with cattle,
on May 21st to 25th, I had the fortune of attending the 90th General Session of the World Association for Animal Health (WOAH, former OIE), an unique occasion not only to meet the representatives of the 182 WOAH members, of international and regional, WOAH key stakeholders and opinion leaders in the field of the veterinary and one health, but also to be updated on the global animal health status as well as on the newly adopted international standards and indications for improving the animal health status in the world.
During the General Session, I found many topics worth of being proposed during our webinars. Among them, I considered the World Animal Health Information System (WAHIS) of particular interest for all of us working with cattle.
WAHIS is a unique online reference platform for animal disease and veterinary capacities reporting that enables the WOAH to ensure the prompt dissemination of information on potentially devastating outbreaks and facilitates decision making in terms of international trade of animals and animal products by collecting, verifying and publishing official animal health information, following a standardised process, thus providing high quality, reliable data.
Therefore, it is a pleasure to invite you all to our next WAB-webinar:
WORLD ANIMAL HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEM (WAHIS)
A new era for animal health data
Dr. Peter Melens
Business Lead of the WAHIS Programme at the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, former OIE)
