What is the Commonwealth Veterinary Association (CVA)?
A. The CVA is an association made up of over 50 national veterinary associations from developed and developing countries. Most are developing countries and within the Commonwealth but several are outside the Commonwealth. New members this year (2010) include Rwanda and Afghanistan. It exists to promote the veterinary profession, especially within developing countries, in order to advance animal (and human) health and welfare. Most of the CVA’s practical help in villages is organised by the CVA but delivered by the national veterinary association. More details are on the CVA’s website.
