Abstract
This issue of the newsletter gives coverage on the community engagement projects the faculty recently engaged in. On 16 September 2024 the faculty hosted a special community engagement seminar to showcase the various community engagement projects and activities happening across the different departments within the faculty. UP 3rd year veterinary science students conduct a rabies vaccination drive in the Hammanskraal area and the OP PGSA support the girls of St Camillus primary school with needed sanitary products which enhance their wellness. The annual One Health Project incorporated a multidisciplinary approach to health care. On July 27, 2024, the Melusi community in Pretoria West received a unique and comprehensive healthcare outreach initiative in which a wider range of basic health screenings for community members, veterinary care for pets and educational resources to the local community, were delivered to this community.
