PVS brings CHANGES

PVS Gap Analysis, 2014

Progress and outcomes of PVS Pathway PVS Evaluation, 2012

A lack of veterinarians at field level (district

level),

A lack of regulatory control over veterinary

drug sales and their use (outside of GAP

certified farms),

Domestic food safety in smaller slaughtering

establishments, milk collecting centres needs

more attention in order to guarantee the same

high quality as the exports,

Technical independence to be improved,

Some gaps in disease control programmes,

Capacity and authority of the VSB

Major gaps of PVS Evaluation

In 2013-2015, 280 new veterinarians were recruited to work at the DLD district level.

The Royal Thai Government approved a 10-year recruitment plan of 1,000 official vets.

Framework PVS Pathway

Ways Forward – The OIE PVS Pathway National Priorities of Veterinary Services (1) National Priorities of Veterinary Services (1)

Livestock production:

• Expand export markets (poultry, pork, dairy products)

• Self-sufficiency (beef, dairy, sheep and goats)

• Improved livelihoods for rural smallholders

Trade: • Manage sanitary risks from imported livestock and their products

Animal Health: • Field veterinary network with full national coverage

• Enhanced national programs for priority diseases (FMD, AI/ND, rabies, Brucellosis/TB, CSF/PRRS/PED), emerging diseases

4. Ways Forward – The OIE PVS Pathway National Priorities of Veterinary Services (2) Veterinary Public Health:

• More nationally uniform whole chain animal production food safety measures

• Greater veterinary regulatory control of veterinary drugs

Management of VS: • Apply greater scrutiny and risk analysis across all programs

• Develop a human resources strategy partnering with the Vet Council and faculties

• Consider greater levels of private sector contributions to VS either through official delegation or cost recovery

• Both complete and work to better integrate the numerous electronic VS information systems
