Empresas Veterinarias de Galicia (EVGal) aims to become a platform for the defence of our business sector in the Autonomous Community of Galicia with the necessary support from other employers’ associations, such as the Galician Confederation of Employers (CEG). And with the support of relevant associations in the Galician business sector, such as the Intersectoral and Inter-territorial Association of the Self-Employed and Small Businesses of Galicia (APE Galicia).

In this way, veterinary companies can have direct access to public institutions and administrations, give their opinion and debate on matters on which the veterinary professional has a lot to say (public health, animal health, food, education, etc.).

EVGal aims to enhance the value of business management and give prestige to the clinical veterinary profession, without being an alternative to the Professional Associations or scientific associations (AVEPA, AVEGAPE, etc.), but rather a further support to our profession.

EVGal is the meeting point for sharing and jointly dealing with the problems, doubts and complex situations that we as entrepreneurs encounter on a daily basis.
