dc.description.abstract |
Establishment of a department of Veterinary Public Health justifies an exposition
of the concept and placing it in perspective. VPH is internationally
accepted as "that component of public health activities devoted to the application
of professional veterinary skills, knowledge and resources to the
protection and improvement of human health". Human health is affected
by a wide range of factors affecting his physical and mental well-being as
well as his ability to maintain a satisfactory socio-economic status. The
veterinary profession is in fact one of the group of health professions
because its members are in a unique position to perform a wide range of
functions directly or indirectly associated with man's health. These include
the provision of an adequate, safe, sound, clean and wholesome supply of
food of animal origin, the control of animal diseasestransmissible to man
and causing death or lack of productivity of animals, the maintenance of
health and performance of companion and recreation animals, guide and
guard dogs, etc. Veterinarians in fact work with animals for the benefit of
man and this would make almost every veterinarian a public health
veterinarian. As a separate subject in the training of veterinarians, the
department of VPH must equip graduates with knowledge relevant to those
aspects concerning the zoonoses, food of animal origin, diseasesof the udder,
the animal in the human environment and so forth. It would emphasize
MAN in the MAN : ANIMAL relationship. |
