Veterinary Telemedicine – A New / Emerging Concept

Veterinary Telemedicine – A New / Emerging Concept

KESCAVA EXECUTIVE is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Veterinary Telemedicine – A New / Emerging Concept
Time: Nov 12, 2020 19:00 Nairobi
Presenter: Dr. Shyam Gosrani
Brief Introduction / Description:

Veterinary Telemedicine and Telehealth has become a growing mode of offering veterinary services especially since the advent of the COVID19 pandemic. This concept , like most technological innovations, is soon going to be part of our routine here in Kenya. Currently, the KVB is in the process of developing guidelines that will make the use of Telemedicine available to the general public and clinicians. KESCAVA has taken this opportunity to invite Dr. Shyam Gosrani, a Kenyan veterinarian trained in the UK and a co-founder of a company that has applied to the KVB to be allowed to role out this mode of service delivery, to give a demonstration on how the service is intended to work. Please take the time to attend the demonstration so as to understand the whole concept. This demonstration offers you an opportunity to interrogate Dr. Gosrani on the system and how it will impact your practice. Your comments will also be important for the KVB to note as they develop the guidelines. Most importantly, your inputs will enable Dr. Gosrami to customize the features to align with your general concerns.

World Antibiotic Awareness Week 2019

World Antibiotic Awareness Week 2019

i

The future of antibiotics depends on all of us

Each November, World Antibiotic Awareness Week (WAAW) aims to increase global awareness of antibiotic resistance and to encourage best practices among the general public, health workers and policy makers to avoid the further emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance.

Since their discovery, antibiotics have served as the cornerstone of modern medicine. However, the persistent overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human and animal health have encouraged the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance, which occurs when microbes, such as bacteria, become resistant to the drugs used to treat them.

The World Antibiotic Awareness Week (WAAW) is jointly organized by the Government of Kenya (Ministries of Health and Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries) in collaboration with partners [Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), World Organization of Animal Health (OIE), World Health Organization (WHO), Becton, Dickinson and Company, ReAct group Africa, University of Nairobi, International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), Diamond V and the World Animal Protection), among others]. A Regional celebration will be held in Nairobi-Kenya from 18th to 23rd November 2019.
