“ … Subject: request to be added on The “One Health/One Medicine” Supporter List

It is my pleasure to let you know that the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE), would like to be added to “One Health/One Medicine” Supporters List.

The FVE was founded in 1975 and it represents 46 national veterinary organizations across 38 European countries and 4 international Sections, each of which represents key groups within the veterinary profession:

Practitioners (UEVP), Hygienists (UEVH), Veterinary State Officers (EASVO) and Veterinarians in Education, Research and Industry (EVERI). Our task is to unite and represent the whole veterinary profession, across Europe. Our aim is to create the right conditions for the veterinary profession to carry out the tasks society has conferred on us: to care for animal health, animal welfare and veterinary public health. We strive to ensure that our role and contribution is known, understood and valued by everyone, including the general public through to European Institutions, global organizations but also from the farmers associations and individual animal owners.

In light of our tasks and strategy, the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe would like to ask you considering adding FVE in the "One Health/One Medicine" supporters list.
