Brief history of association

The National Association of Veterinary Medicine of Cuba was founded in December, 14th, 1908 by a group of distinguished veterinarians, almost in their totality professors of the Veterinary School of Havana University. With the purpose to better defend the moral and material interests of veterinary profession, and to let know through a proper promotion, the importance of veterinary medicine, in the economy, as well as in the society and in the field of public health. We also play an important role in the improvement and development of cattle richness of the country. That same year the first Cuban Journal of Veterinary Medicine was printed.

In the last 100 years there have been many transformations of this Association. In August, 1967, it was decided to change the name for Scientific Veterinary Council of Cuba, which functions include the organization and leadership of activities and scientific research, creating a center for information and documentation to keep its members informed. The Scientific Societies were created with full functional autonomy, later, and considering the collective thinking, the Statutes were modified and approved. The Scientific Veterinary Council of Cuba's first great goal is the scientific technical improvement of veterinarians and all professional that develop its activities in the field of Veterinary Sciences.
