Core offering

The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) is an intergovernmental organization that develops and disseminates international standards, guidelines, and codes for animal health and welfare, operates the WAHIS global animal disease information system, runs capacity-building programmes such as the PVS Pathway for national Veterinary Services, and coordinates the One Health approach across its 182 member countries. It also manages vaccine banks, reference laboratories, and collaborating centres to support disease surveillance, official disease status recognition, and safe international trade in animals and animal products.

Product overview

The World Organisation for Animal Health operates a unified platform of interconnected digital systems and programmes rather than a single commercial product. The core offerings include WAHIS (disease information system), PVS Pathway (veterinary services assessment), ANIMUSE (antimicrobial use monitoring), TRUVET (veterinary tracking), Training Platform, Documentary Portal, and The Animal Echo (communication platform), all supported by a global Expertise Network of reference laboratories and collaborating centres. Additional offerings include Vaccine Banks, the ALERT serious game for surveillance training, Codes and Manuals for international standards, and a Bookshop for publications. The organization also coordinates across One Health, Antimicrobial Resistance, Biological Threat Reduction, and Food Safety global initiatives.
