USAPA is an association of veterinarians, companies and organisations especially those leaning towards advancing Companion Animal practice, health and welfare. Together, we are working to advance the health and welfare of Companion Animals, thus impact on the health of the communities they live and impact on a healthier environment for both People and Animals. We speak on behalf of Companion Animal Veterinarians in Uganda and collaborate with other organisations locally, regionally and globally in advancing our mission and vision. In support of our mission, our core activities are based around four key pillars:

• The advancement of companion animal health and welfare.
• The creation of globally relevant ‘Standardization Guidelines’ in key areas of veterinary care.
• The provision of continuing education for companion animal veterinarians in Uganda and beyond.
• Increasing understanding of the importance of companion animals in communities, public health and as part of advancing one health for animals and humans.
