Scope of Veterinary Public Health

The scope of VPH is multidisciplinary. It involves not only veterinarians in governmental, nongovernmental and private sectors, but also other professionals such as physicians, nurses, microbiologists, environmental specialists, sanitarians, food technologists, agricultural scientists, Para veterinary staff and auxiliaries who contribute to the treatment, control and prevention of diseases of animal origin. VPH directly improves human health by reducing exposure to hazards arising from interactions with animals and animal products.

It also works to minimize hazards including zoonoses, vector-borne infections and other communicable diseases, chemicals and veterinary drugs used in animals, envenomation, and injuries from occupational and recreational exposure to animals.

Veterinary science contributes to human health by promoting the health of animals, which provide necessary income, food, transport, draught power and the raw materials for clothing throughout the world. By promoting animal health, the quality and quantity of animal products is enhanced.
