By: New technologies offer unprecedented possibilities for Veterinary Services to access more targeted information and assist their decision-making process. In this regard, the OIE has worked in recent years to improve animal health data management.
Next step: the Organisation intends to undergo a digital transformation
The goal is to maximise the potential of the valuable data that it collects, analyses and disseminates, particularly animal health data.
Improved access to animal health information
A major achievement of the 6th Strategic Plan is the total remodelling of the platform hosting all the animal health data provided by countries. The first version of OIE-WAHIS will be launched in upcoming months. By enabling the analysis of disease events in light of other factors and making it possible to cross-reference data with those of other platforms, OIE-WAHIS will become an indispensable tool for animal health data management.
