My global slogan is One World - One Health for all veterinarians in the world.This concept is the unified approach between veterinary and human medicine to improve global health for people and animals. You can tell it in another way: healthy animals = healthy people. I wish this for the Global Society.

In this perspective, veterinarians play the central role between animals, animal-owners and society. The issues of importance are animal health, animal welfare and public health and these issues are indivisible.

The responsibility in this for our profession requires a high standard of knowledge and skills, we get by good Veterinary Education and Life Long Learning.

As President of the World Veterinary Association [WVA], I wish all the veterinarians of the World the prosperity in our magnificent profession.
With my sincerely greetings,
Dr.Tjeerd Jorna
WVA President
