IMPACT of the OIE PVS Evaluation
  • Excitement of Thai veterinarians
  • Active participation and collaboration of all
    stakeholders (i.e. producers, private sectors,
    academic institutions, professional associations,
    other government agencies)
  • Commitment of high level of policy- and
    decision-makers

3
Following the OIE PVS Evaluation, commitment and
awareness have been raised at high level of
policy-makers.
Capacity building of veterinary education and
veterinary services in the region

Strengths of Thailands VS
  • Thailand has a very strong VS, led by the
    high standards required of its export
    industries.
  • HPAI outbreaks and ensuing political support
    have also assisted in the rapid high
    quality development of the VS.
  • GAP and GMP systems are very appropriate
    ways to improve animal health and food
    safety measures nationally.
  • Movement controls seem to generally function
    well.
  • Thailand is active in international animal health
    policy and forums and in trade negotiations.
  • Thailands veterinary services is one of pioneers
    in compartmentalization and zoning/regionalization
    .

5
Major gaps
  • A lack of veterinarians at field level (district
    level)
  • A lack of regulatory control over veterinary
    drug sales and their use (outside of GAP
    certified farms)
  • Domestic food safety in smaller slaughtering
    establishments, milk collecting centres needs
    more attention in order to guarantee the same
    high quality as the exports.
