Who is involed in AHCCGHO?
Chair - Rosie Herrington
Since attending the World Health Assembly earlier this year I have been involved in forming this committee. I would love to see us increasing the number of opportunities for our members both so that more students can gain experience in the global health sector, and to make organisations aware that veterinary students can play an important role.

Who is involed in AHCCGHO?
Along the way it became clear to me that Veterinary Medicine, besides curing animals, provides lots of different opportunities. During my internship at the Food and Agriculture Organization and at the last WHO World Health Assemblies I closely experienced how much the input of vet students in global health is appreciated, and I hope more IVSA members will grab their chances to explore these exciting fields.
Fascinated by veterinary global public health in school by a bovine tuberculosis project, I came to study veterinary medicine in London, a leading global health hub, and subsequently took a year out of vet school to intercalate in Global Health at Imperial College.
During One Health related workshops and events I have organised in cooperation with the IVSA, the interdisciplinary approach for facing Global Health challenges caught my attention. I am grateful for IVSA's special consultant status at the UN/ECOSOC which allows us students to participate actively in discussions.
