Investment in Ghana's animal health systems is urgently required to safeguard the overall health and well-being of the population, says Dr Benjamin Kissi Sasu, risk communication officer of the Veterinary Service Department (VSD).
Key areas requiring urgent attention include research and innovation, disease prevention and control, capacity-building, and strengthening the veterinary workforce.
Dr Benjamin Kissi Sasu, stressed these in an interview with The Ghanaian Times to commemorate this year's World Veterinary Day (WVD).
Observed annually on the last Saturday of April, this year's WVD on the theme, "Animal Health Takes a Team," emphasises the need for collaborative efforts in safeguarding animal health.
