Today, the world marks World Veterinary Day, a global event established by the @WorldVetAssoc in the year 2000 and celebrated annually on the last Saturday of April.
This day recognizes the vital role veterinarians play in safeguarding animal health, public health, and food security.
Under this year’s theme, “Veterinarians: Guardians of Food and Health,” we honor the dedication of veterinary professionals who work tirelessly to ensure safe food systems, control zoonotic diseases, and protect both animals and people.
In Rwanda, the celebration is taking place in @rulindodistrict , Tumba Sector, bringing together communities and professionals to highlight the importance of veterinary services in national development and public well-being.
Let’s appreciate and support our veterinarians — true guardians at the intersection of animal welfare, food safety, and human health.
