The ECOWAS Regional Animal Health Center (RAHC) has successfully deployed the Regional Animal Health Information System (RAHIS) in Assinie, Côte d’Ivoire. This initiative represents a significant step forward in enhancing animal health surveillance and management across the ECOWAS region.

A training session, held from June 19 to June 21, brought together veterinary professionals, animal health experts, and information systems specialists from the Member States. These participants received practical guidance on the implementation and use of RAHIS.

The system is designed to improve data collection, communication, and analysis of animal health information, thereby enhancing the region’s capacity to monitor and control animal diseases.
