The National Centre for Animal Health is conducting an intensive five-day training programme at Metta Resort from 25th to 29th May 2026 in partnership with FAO, Bhutan. This strategic initiative brings together approximately 40 participants from Central Farms, Regional Livestock Development Centres, government technology agencies, and partner organizations to strengthen veterinary and laboratory service delivery across the country.
The programme is chaired by the Chief of the Animal Health Division, with a welcome address delivered by the Program Director of NCAH. The training aims to enhance the technical capacity of participants in the use and management of integrated digital systems that support animal health, laboratory diagnostics, and supply chain operations within the livestock sector.
Participants will receive practical hands-on training in three modern integrated digital systems:
- Veterinary Information System – Supports accurate, secure, and efficient management of animal health records while improving data accessibility and reporting.
- Laboratory Information Management Systems – Enhances laboratory workflows for faster and more reliable diagnostic services and disease surveillance.
- Essential Veterinary Supply Systems – Improves inventory monitoring and distribution processes to support timely availability of medicines, vaccines, and veterinary equipment.
The integrated systems are expected to support:
- Reduced paperwork and manual processing
- Improved accuracy in data management and laboratory reporting
- Better coordination and information sharing among stakeholders
- Faster and more efficient veterinary and laboratory services
- Strengthened resource and inventory management
- Enhanced technical capacity of participating institutions
Throughout the five-day programme, participants will develop practical competencies in system operation, data management, reporting, and troubleshooting. The training is expected to strengthen the capacity of Central Farms and relevant stakeholders to effectively utilize digital systems in their routine operations, contributing to improved animal health services, laboratory efficiency, and overall livestock sector support nationwide.
