Dear Dr Sabi,
>
>Am glad to read about the work you have done in organizing paravets in Togo - an ECOWAS Member State. The paravet (won't veterinary nurses or technicians be a better term?) issue has been a sensitive one with veterinarians in our region, as accusations of malpractice by paravets have been a sore point for a lot of veterinarians. My take is that if they are better organized and regulated, there presence in the field should be an asset to the veterinary profession, particularly where veterinarians are lacking. This seems to be what you were able to achieve in Northern Togo.
>The task of a vaccination campaign is huge and we may need to critically look toward paravets for support of such a program. Can you provide further insight as to how you managed the paravets and avoided outcry from other vets, and if there were any reported cases of malpractice in your area of coverage?
>Thank you.
