World Veterinary Association (WVA)

The World Veterinary Association (WVA) is a global organization that brings together veterinary professionals from around the world. Its goal is to promote the health and welfare of animals, support the veterinary profession, and improve animal and public health through education, collaboration, and sharing best practices. The WVA works with governments, veterinary groups, and other organizations to address issues like disease control, animal welfare, and zoonotic diseases—that is, illnesses that can transfer between animals and humans. Essentially, it helps ensure that veterinarians worldwide can provide high-quality care and safeguard both animal and human health.
