Shaping the future of veterinary medicine in southern Africa

Abstract

The South African Veterinary Association (SAVA) stands at a defining moment in its history — a moment shaped not by challenge alone, but by extraordinary opportunity. For more than a century, SAVA has served as the professional home of veterinarians in Southern Africa, advancing science, strengthening standards, and safeguarding animal and public health. Today, that mission is more vital than ever.

At the heart of this mission lies the Journal of the South African Veterinary Association (JSAVA) — a platform not only for publishing science, but for shaping the future of veterinary medicine on our continent.
