The Baghdad Veterinary Conference, which will be held for the period 5-6 May in the capital city , Baghdad, and which was adopted by Veterinary Doctors Syndicate in Iraq , is considered the first of its kind in Iraq in form and content. Where there is Arab and regional participation, in addition to the local parties concerned.
In general, Syndicate conferences are distinguished from others by their orientation towards building understandings, fronts and entrenchments that contribute to one party’s access to the union seat, at the expense of another party, and this is what is dictated by the democratic demand through vote counting, nominations, elections, and resorting to the singing voice. For electoral funds. Although Iraq was living in a kind of totalitarianism in the joints of professional organizations under the previous regime, the opportunity for openness came with political change and another sparkle of democracy began to loom on the horizon, bringing with it winds of change and rains of renewed work and variable production.
With that being said, the legal basis did not effectively fulfill the required purpose. One of the Syndicate’s tasks is to introduce the Syndicate and defend the profession and its members. But the idea is that turning to the media and platforms available in the Internet space has opened the door wide for those who want to be known about the veterinary medicine profession in a way that befits it in society and among political and governmental decision-makers, based on the international dimension and horizon of the profession.
The Baghdad Veterinary Conference, in its first edition (2024), provides a space for the various parties in the field of animal health and livestock to communicate with each other.

The conference will focus on the demands and international constitutions in order to try to highlight the importance of their implementation, as there will be a presence of these organizations at the conference, and they will also be participants in the conference themes. The fact that Iraq is a member of many international organizations concerned with the development of animal health and livestock development comes in the context of providing the nutritional needs of the people and working to ensure that providing these requirements is within local policy and supplying the market with local products.
