One Health Alignment

NOAH is committed to One Health which includes limiting the development of antimicrobial resistance by promoting responsible use and stewardship of antibiotics. Offering training to all their members, NOAH helps individuals to understand the risks and know when to give and not to give antibiotics.

Furthermore, they are on a campaign to allow more pets into rented accommodation due to the benefits of having a companion animal, especially for those who are older. Moreover, by having effective policies and protocols people and their pets can live in harmony. So, it is important to address the issue of infection prevention and control, as well as health and safety concerns.

• A compendium of Data Sheets, which is considered one of the major references for animal medicines including safety instructions, withdrawal periods, product indications, and dosage rates all in one place!
