Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, Minister of Climate Change and the Environment, today inaugurated E-Vet Gate, the first digital platform in the world dedicated to veterinary products.
Accessible through the website and app of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MoCCAE), E-Vet Gate serves as a complete reference for safe and certified veterinary pharmaceutical products registered in the UAE.
The move aligns with MoCCAE’s mandate to implement the Federal Law No. 9 of 2017 regulating the handling, trading, marketing, and circulation of veterinary products that aims to curb illegal activities across these processes.
Mariam Almheiri said,
"Developing animal wealth is a core priority of the Ministry as part of its goal to enhance food security. We have established an integrated approach to achieving this objective, including close monitoring of veterinary products. In this context, we are proud to launch E-Vet Gate as a valuable comprehensive source of information on the specifications and uses of approved veterinary products traded in UAE markets."
Through educating veterinarians and livestock breeders about veterinary pharmaceutical products, E-Vet Gate seeks to ensure that only licenced products sourced from reliable suppliers are traded. This will boost animal health and productivity, safeguard public health, and keep zoonoses at bay, strengthening biosecurity in the UAE. Improving the safety of animal-based food products will increase their contribution to local production and support the livestock sector in the country.
E-Vet Gate will be updated regularly, adding new products along with their information, such as package inserts, manufacturers, and local distributors. The user-friendly tool offers multiple channels to submit constructive suggestions.
