“Veterinarians must convey to society that human well-being is not directly proportional to animal well-being. We have an essential role in educating and advising families on how to care for each animal according to its species and needs.
That’s what they say Raquel Garcia Pinillosa promoter of the One Welfare concept and a doctor of veterinary medicine, and Jaume Fatjo, Director of the Affinity Foundation Chair in Animal and Health at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Ethicist, in the latest edition of “One Health Talks”. A media space promoted by the Organization of the College of Veterinary Medicine (OCV) in the context of its centenary, led by a veterinarian and communicator Teo Sanchez.

“The One Care approach recognizes the interconnectedness between human well-being, animal well-being and the environment, including physical and social elements,” says his predecessor, Burgos veterinarian Raquel García Pinlos, who focuses on “The importance of taking this connection into account in order to achieve balance and improve the well-being of all factors involved.”.
For his part, Jaume Fatjo hints at Social work carried out by pets among citizens. “Veterinarians, when they care for animals, protect the bond that exists between them and the family. “If we recognize the value of that bond, we realize the value of the veterinary profession.”
Likewise, Fatjo highlights the importance of adapting to the social change that has occurred in recent decades with regard to well-being, because “those Veterinarians have faced a new challenge in this field“Counseling families with the common good in mind, not just the animal.”
For his part, Garcia Pinillos points out that “the concept of one care is not limited to companion animals only, but is applied in all fields.” In the case of livestock farming, animal care contributes to more comfortable working conditions for people and greatly reduces the risk of occupational accidents.
