Summary
Canada has been a member of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) since 1971. Health Canada manages relations with PAHO on behalf of the government and has been an active partner on numerous health issues in the hemisphere. Given an identified need to bring together Canadian and PAHO expertise on veterinary public health (VPH) issues, a joint workshop was held on May 31st and June 1st, 2007, in Ottawa, Canada.
The Canada-PAHO Veterinary Public Health Workshop's aim was to bring together Canadian and PAHO experts in the Americas to exchange information on current and future activities and to develop strategies to work together more effectively to reduce risks to public health from animals.
