Performance of Veterinary Services (PVS)

Supported by

Introduction

The OIE Performance of Veterinary Services (PVS) pathway is a continuous process to sustainably improve national veterinary services. The PVS pathway empowers national veterinary services by providing a comprehensive understanding of their strengths and weaknesses using a globally consistent methodology based on international standards which can reveal gaps, inefficiencies and opportunities for innovation. This enables countries to take ownership and prioritise improvements to their animal health system.

Cyclical in nature, the PVS Pathway provides a robust mechanism for the continuous improvement of national Veterinary Services,  through a staged approach using a set of proven tools and methods to evaluate, plan, cost and support the strengthening of national Veterinary Services. These stages, and the options for member Country engagement within each of them, are presented in the diagram:
