Strategic goals

1. Veterinary wellbeing

UEVH originate as a “Union”. UEVH cares for veterinarians working in public health on an international European level. UEVH connects national veterinary associations. UEVH supports veterinarians in public health’s visibility, life-long education, recognition and reputation. UEVH offers fora and platforms for active international networking, motivates young colleagues, raises debates, shares arguments, and a proactive role in the field and responsiveness to other stakeholders.

2. The veterinary profession promoting One Health

UEVH promote One Health, i.e., human health, animal health, plant health and environmental health, from a public health perspective on:

1. Sustainable animal production
2. Sustainable food production
3. Control of zoonoses
4. Safe and wholesome food
5. Animal health and welfare
6. Digital transformation and emerging technologies

The World is having a wake-up call regarding our societies impact on the future of life on Earth. Tremendous challenges regarding future food supply and security lifts sustainable food production to the number one challenge. “Safe food” is not the sole question in Europe either, to many people “food” is, and it will be for more.

We are convinced that animal foods are crucial for a sustainable food production and the health and wellbeing of our society, today and in the future. Veterinarians definitely have competence and important roles to play. Veterinarians in public health shall deliver One Health by promoting our scientific knowledge and results. We must incorporate our knowledge into a holistic context and avoid sub-optimisation in Europe and global food systems. We shall develop, acknowledge other professions’ contributions and adopt, adapt and implement emerging technologies that improve our society. Veterinarians in public health promote innovation.

3. Relevant communication

One of UEVH’s most important function is to communicate and promote communication and sharing of arguments and knowledge among our colleagues.
