00:00The role of the veterinary doctor assumes a central position in our society.
00:10It is being rediscovered because some aspects of our profession, such as food safety,
00:18if all the products of animal origin that are added to our table are healthy, we owe it to the veterinary doctor.
00:26Many people do not know this, because usually the concept is that the veterinarian is the one who takes care of the animals.
00:33In reality, there is another important part of public veterinary medicine, of public health,
00:39without forgetting the fundamental role they have in the concept of One Health.
00:45In One Health, the veterinarian not only takes care of the animals,
00:50but by controlling the diseases of the animals, they control the zoonoses,
00:55which are diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans,
01:00and so the veterinarian in this, in the concept of One Health, plays a truly transversal and central role.
01:08In addition, thanks to a project that has been going on for 14 years, the veterinarians are present in schools.
01:17So, in primary schools, the veterinarian, with the children, teaches the children what is the right relationship with the animals,
01:28and so this is also an important and divulgative aspect that prepares today's children to be adults with a good relationship with animals.
