The COVID-19 pandemic reminds us that cross-sectoral collaboration, in line with the One Health approach, and the sharing of expertise are more essential than ever. By encouraging these actions, we will be better able to anticipate and deal with new threats. Through its mission to set standards, to inform, and to build capacity, the OIE contributes to the emergence of essential global governance in animal health, firmly rooted in science."

THE NETWORK EXPANDS
IN ABU DHABI
2019 saw the inauguration of a new OIE Sub-Regional Representation, the 13th in the world. Through its office in Abu Dhabi, the OIE intends to strengthen its network in the Middle East, in particular with the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates) and Yemen. As a result of this presence, the OIE aims to collaborate more closely with the region’s Veterinary Services and respond more effectively to its problems in controlling transboundary diseases, notably zoonoses, and animal welfare, particularly in the commercial context.
