On December 17, 2024, the Universidad Nacional de San Martín, executing article 115° of its Institutional Statute, approved the Creation of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, maintaining as a horizon Law No. 31151 (1), Law of Work of the Veterinary Medical Health Professional published in the Official Gazette El Peruano on March 31, 2021, and the One Health or One Health strategy, promoted by the World Health Organization (2), the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), constituting a transcendental event for the training of highly qualified professionals in animal health, in the production of food of animal origin, in the surveillance of public and environmental health, and, as an inherent part of its university sense, the search for truth through scientific research. This new academic space not only responds to the local needs of a region rich in biodiversity, natural resources and agricultural activities, but also offers opportunities to strengthen scientific research in fundamental fields such as animal health, public health, food safety and environmental conservation, in a country whose economy depends largely on agriculture and livestock, opening a range of opportunities for the progress of the Amazon region of Peru.
