Head of organisational and technical units Hashim Al Awadi
The veterinary services section of the Public Health Services Department at Dubai Municipality held its first meeting of the year with the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA). The meeting came as part of the implementation of an
agreement concluded between the two parties which aims to rehabilitate and develop technical personnel and increase their knowledge, skills and abilities to improve the quality of professional workmanship.
The meeting was headed by Hashim Al Awadi, Head of the Section and representatives of the organisational and technical units. WSPA was represented by Alistair Findlay, Director of WSPA ME Office and his assistants.
"The meeting discussed the latest developments in training programmes to protect animals from any risk due to bad housing, malnutrition or other risks, and the proposed plan for the training and development of the technical staff on the basics of inspection and principles of international animal welfare, in addition to the technical support that can be provided by WSPA for the development and sustainability of private farms after necessary improvements and giving maximum benefit to their owners as well as converting them into typical production units," Al Awadi said.
The meeting covered the importance of exchanging expertise between both parties and visiting the WSPA headquarters in Britain to learn about developments in animal production systems and other available programmes. It was recommended to disseminate the relevant guidelines to communicate properly with veterinary facilities to avoid any health risks to the animals at any time.
At the end of the meeting, it was recommended to continue the training programmes provided to the department by WSPA as well as the implementation of the agreement's provisions according to the proposed timetable.
The delegation was taken on a tour of the veterinary facilities and production farms in the Emirate of Dubai to learn about health and safety programmes followed by them to preserve the environment and livestock.
