Dr. Emmanuelle Soubeyran, Head of the French Veterinary Service, becomes the 8th Director General of WOAH.
During its 91st General Session, the World Organisation for Animal Health elects its new Director General, Dr Emmanuelle Soubeyran, for a 5-year mandate (2024-2029).
The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) has reached an important milestone in its dedication to global animal health by announcing the election of its new Director General.
Dr. Soubeyran was chosen by WOAH Delegates to lead the Organization into its new chapter by a secret ballot voting, adhering to the "one country, one vote" concept. Consequently, she assumes the position of the 8th Director General of WOAH. Under Soubeyran's guidance, the Organization will continue its commitment to enhancing animal health governance, advocating for a safer and healthier future for animals and humans alike.
Dr. Soubeyran's appointment marks the conclusion of Dr. Monique Eloit's accomplished 8-year term as the head of the Organization. Dr. Eloit's departure leaves behind a substantial legacy, as he greatly improved international collaboration in the fight against animal diseases. Throughout her two terms, WOAH has enhanced the competence and inclusiveness of its members, broadening assistance for veterinary paraprofessionals and community animal health workers.
Dr. Soubeyran (4th from right) visited and worked at the factory of VMC Vietnam Company on March 31, 2024.
WOAH launched data-driven programs to foster innovation, including the Observatory, which monitors the implementation of WOAH Standards, and ANIMUSE, a global database on animal antimicrobial usage.
On the occasion of WOAH's centennial, we contemplate a hundred years of steadfast dedication to worldwide animal well-being. The future poses intricate and interrelated concerns, ranging from zoonotic illnesses to the sustainability of animal industry. WOAH is ready to assume a leading role in tackling these concerns, with a strong focus on cooperation, creativity, and diversity.
