Celebrating a Century of Animal Health and Welfare with WOAH

HallMark Honours 100 Years of the World Organisation for Animal Health

In 2024, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), formerly known as the Office International des Epizooties (OIE), marks a historic centenary of pioneering advancements in animal health and welfare across the globe. From its inception in 1924, aimed at combating Rinderpest, to eradicating the disease in 2011, WOAH's journey reflects a century of monumental achievements in veterinary science.

A Century of Milestones

WOAH's centennial celebration is not just about looking back at its achievements but also forward to the future challenges in animal health. With 183 member countries, WOAH has evolved from addressing the spread of communicable diseases to tackling modern-day challenges such as climate change, avian influenza, zoonotic diseases, and antimicrobial resistance. The organisation's commitment to scientific rigor, transparency, and the One Health approach underscores its role as a global authority in animal health.
