Priority Animal Health Needs

Priority Animal Health Needs

As a part of this commitment, CAHI launched a Priority Animal Health Needs (PAHNs) initiative to work with veterinarians and producer associations to track the availability of veterinary drugs, vaccines and pesticides in Canada year over year, identify priority animal health needs for specific products currently not available on the Canadian market, and develop strategies to increase access to these products going forward.

Objectives:

• Establish closer partnerships with the veterinary and production animal sectors to understand how and where red tape is impacting animal health and welfare in Canada.
• Partner with veterinarians and producer groups in our dialogue with regulators and decision-makers to voice concerns about the resulting unmet priority animal health needs and identify solutions.
