Message from the President Dr Louis Liu

Hello! Dear all Asian Small Animal Veterinarians,

On behalf of Federation of Asian Small Animal Veterinary Association I would like to show my great thanks to all your care and support to us. In the meantime, I also want to express my thanks to former General Assembly Presidents for their significant contribution to the construction and development of the FASAVA.

FASAVA was set up in 2007, and the development of Asian Veterinarian industry has been growing global significance. Our contribution and union are receiving more and more attention by the veterinarians all over the world. We hope the Asian veterinaries are able to play a more important role in the world through our own effort. I believe the FASAVA has enough ability to manage the Asian Veterinary affairs and will become a more united group.

We are recently returned from Malaysia who has graciously hosted our FASAVA Congress.Once more the FASAVA Executive Board were extremely pleased with the quality and organisation of a truly fantastic FASAVA Congress. The standards of the speakers was very high and came from all Asia. We hosted speakers from as far afield as Europe and USA, Australia, China and Japan. The social side of the Congress was unsurpassed. Well done to the MSAVA organising committee for a great job and especial mention to Dr Amilan Sivagurunathan as Chair of the Organising Committee.

This past year we have organise two CPD events. One was held in Sri Lanka with Dr Cheng on Anaesthesia and the second was a workshop that was held after the Malaysian Congress on haematology. With Dr Stephanie Klenner from Germany. Both CPD events were sponsored by FASAVA and were very successful and enjoyed by all attendees.
Thank you Dr Anthony for your organisation of these events.

I enjoyed the days we met with each other in FASAVA Congress every year and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in the 8th FASAVA Congress that will be held in the Gold Coast of Australia.

Thank you again for all your support.
Best Regards.
Louis Liu

I was fortunate to attend many presentations at FASAVA 2016 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The scientific committee did an amazing job in selecting speakers who gave presentations that were pitched at practitioner level and just beyond this, meaning I am able to put into practice a lot of the practice tips I learnt.

These presentations I attended included; ophthalmology, a wide range of orthopaedic topics and dermatology. Every presentation I attended provided me with very practical and user friendly practice tips that I will take back to my practice and implement. There is no doubt this Congress has been the best one I have attended in this respect.

I might also add that the Malaysia veterinary Association were magnificent hosts and looked after everyone very well, with the highlight being the Malaysia night which provided me with an excellent insight into Malaysian culture, such beautiful people and so friendly.
