Veterinary medicine in kingdom of morocco: the interface between humans and animals

Abstract

Veterinarians serve the health needs of animals, including pets, livestock, zoo and laboratory animals. Commonly called veterinarians, most work in private clinics, treating pets such as dogs and cats. They diagnose diseases and perform medical procedures. A small number of people working in this field are equine veterinarians who treat horses and food animal veterinarians who work with farm animals raised to be food sources. Some veterinarians specialize in food safety and inspection. They check livestock for diseases that animals can transmit to humans. Others are research veterinarians who study human and animal health problems. The veterinarian, or animal health specialist, is becoming increasingly popular, especially in an era when animal adoptions are increasing tenfold. Between disease diagnosis, medical procedures and the preservation of food safety, the results of this practice in recent years can only augur well for the future. Also known as the "Daktari syndrome" by specialists in the field, in reference to an old series from the 1970s about a veterinarian in Africa, this profession has undergone significant development in Morocco over the last decade, both in terms of the number of veterinarians installed and the quality of care provided, as well as the upgrading and equipping of veterinary practices.
