World Veterinary Association

The WVA is the internationally recognized global representative of veterinary associations and organisations. Hundred-sixty years ago, in 1863, Dr J.

Gamgee convened a first International Veterinary Congress. This initiative grew into the World Veterinary Association (WVA) today. The WVA unites and represents the global veterinary profession. It is the umbrella organization for National Veterinary Associations and International associations of veterinarians working in different areas of veterinary medicine. The WVA continues the ambition of Dr

Gamgee to bring veterinarians from all over the world together, to share experiences, to exchange ideas and to join forces for the promotion and development of veterinary medicine. The WVA defends the interest of the health and welfare of animals and people as well as the interest of its member organisations and their members.

As we move forward, we are eager to engage with the Burkina Faso Veterinary Medical Association, the Kosovo Veterinary Order, and the Turkish Veterinary Medical Association to better understand their unique experiences and concerns.

This expansion strengthens our mission to unite the global veterinary profession, fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and support among veterinary organisations worldwide.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Professor Simon Doherty, a towering figure in the veterinary profession, and the winner of the inaugural WVA 'Veterinarian of the Year Award' in April of this year. His extraordinary legacy will continue to influence and inspire members of veterinary community for years to come.

Simon was past President of the British Veterinary Association, one of the Directors of the World Aquatic Veterinary Medical Association, worked with the Ripple Effect NGO (formerly Send a Cow) and was a Senior Lecturer at Queen’s University in Belfast. At Queen’s, he inspired both undergraduate and postgraduate students with his expertise in animal health, animal welfare, One Health, and sustainable food production.

Simon’s warmth, generosity, and dedication to mentoring the next generation of veterinarians made him an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Our deepest condolences go out to Simon’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
