The Ghana Veterinary Medical Association is appealing to government to as a matter of urgency pay attention to the numerous challenges that is crippling the progress of the veterinary service.
According to Dr Joseph Kofi Ampofo, all veterinary service departments across the the country lack standard facilities to unleash their full responsibilities.
He also called on government to prioritise establishing modern veterinary clinics/laboratories to undertake proper research and examinations and support animal care.
Among the challenges Dr Joseph Ampofo spoke about included inadequate storage facilities across all the 16 regions.
“Currently vaccines are stored in the fridges of individual staffs due to lack of infrastructure, including storage facilities and office spaces”, Dr Ampofo added.
Dr. Joseph Kofi Ampofo, President of the Ghana Veterinary Medical Association made the appeal during an interview with Bryt fm at the Association’s 50th Annual General Meeting in the capital of Eastern region, Koforidua.
The GVMA met on the theme: “Strengthening Veterinary Services for Resilient Food System“.
The 50th Annual General Meeting of the Association which started on Thursday, 24th October at JMet Hotel in Koforidua will end on Saturday, 26th October, 2024.
