For three (03) days, participants explored many facets of veterinary medicine, innovations, challenges and methods that can contribute to promoting this discipline which plays an important role in the development of food security. They were also given the opportunity to participate in practical training workshops led by renowned experts, to discuss the challenges facing the veterinary sector in Central Africa mainly, and to develop strategies that can strengthen the profession and its impact on the development of Cameroon.
In his inaugural lecture, the Minister of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries, Dr. TAรGA highlighted the crucial role of veterinarians in the import substitution policy led by the government. He added that “by ensuring the good health of animals, veterinarians contribute directly to increasing local production of foods such as eggs, poultry and fish, essential elements for Cameroon’s food security.”
The Minister of State, Minister of Higher Education, Professor Jacques FAME NDONGO, for his part, welcomed “a strategic initiative” which fits perfectly with the vision of the Head of State which aims to make Cameroon “a modern, prosperous and resilient country”.
By highlighting the role of veterinarians in the socio-economic development of Cameroon, this first veterinary symposium will have made it possible to improve the knowledge and skills of the sector’s stakeholders, to promote excellence and to contribute to a more sustainable future for animal and human health in Cameroon and beyond.
