Vetnews | April 2022 17 In 2015 communication between the South African Veterinary Association (SAVA) and the Veterinary Association of Namibia (VAN) got underway to pave the road for cooperation cross-border. A long stream of communication followed, and in 2022 an affiliation was established with the following benefits for members of both Associations: • Reciprocal attendance of the main congress at membership rates (i.e. members of VAN can attend SAVA Congresses at SAVA membership rates and vice versa). • Advertising of the VAN Congress in VetNews at no cost (similar to congresses arranged by Groups of the SAVA, a single full- page advertisement). • Members of VAN can subscribe to VetNews and access the digital version on the SAVA website. • As agreed, accreditation of the CPD articles published in VetNews will be arrangedwith the NamibianVeterinary Council.
