Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine Unit
The Public Health and Preventive Medicine Unit plays a vital role in safeguarding both animal and human health through disease prevention, zoonotic disease control, food safety promotion, and environmental health initiatives.
The unit operates within the global “One Health” framework which recognizes the strong relationship between animal health, human health, and environmental sustainability. Through research, surveillance, education, and community engagement, the unit contributes to the prevention and control of diseases transmissible between animals and humans.
The unit works closely with government agencies, public health organizations, livestock stakeholders, and research institutions to strengthen disease prevention and promote healthier communities.
