The World Veterinary Association (WVA) and Ceva Santé Animale are delighted to announce the winners of the 2020 Global Animal Welfare Awards. The 2020 Global Animal Welfare Awards features the addition of two novel award categories for veterinary technicians/nurses and for veterinary schools, recognizing those individuals and institutions for going ‘above and beyond’ in protecting animals and promoting animal welfare.

The official award ceremony, which was originally scheduled to take place during the 36th WVA Congress in Auckland, New Zealand earlier this year, will be streamed live during the WVA’s webinar, The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Veterinary Profession’ on 29th October 2020. The award ceremony will be followed by a series of short videos highlighting the work of each of the award recipients in their respective fields under a single common goal - improving the welfare of animals.

The WVA and Ceva Santé Animale are thrilled to work together in recognizing veterinarians, veterinary paraprofessionals, veterinary students, and veterinary academic institutions for their outstanding work in and dedication to the advancement of animal welfare. The organizations are therefore honored to present the recipients of the 4th Global Animal Welfare Awards.
