Dr Bansal emphasised that, in light of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, veterinarians played a crucial role in improving disease prevention strategies.

Dr Jasbir Singh Bedi, director, Centre for One Health, highlighted the connectedness of One Health and clinical biosecurity. Dr Bedi said biosecurity was a key tool in controlling nosocomial infections, zoonoses and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. The participants were informed about the strategies to break the chain of infection in veterinary clinics.
