The health of animals, people, and the planet are inextricably linked. The world needs a holistic approach to health, that understands that, by protecting the health of animals and our environment, we protect our own health and future.

So what does ‘Together, beyond animal health’ really mean? For us, it’s a three-fold commitment:

• Helping feed the world through ensuring sufficient and healthy food resources:
  - Always respecting animal welfare
  - Supporting biodiversity

• Preventing zoonoses
• Nurturing the human animal bond

It is a big vision. We know we can’t achieve it alone. So we extend our challenge to the world at large – because only by working with other health professionals will we meet the future demands of world health.
