The launch of these guidelines comes as a result of intensive efforts and fruitful cooperation between experts and specialists, as we were keen to include the latest scientific standards and recommendations that keep pace with developments in this field, in order to achieve the best diagnostic and therapeutic practices and enhance the role of the veterinarian in community service. It also represents a step towards standardization and ensuring the quality of veterinary services provided, contributing to building a more sustainable and efficient health sector.
