On June 24–26, 2025, a seminar on the National Strategic Risk Assessment (NSRA) was held in Lviv. The event was organized by the Public Health Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO) Country Office in Ukraine.

The State Scientific Research Control Institute of Veterinary Medicinal Products and Feed Additives (SCIVP) was represented by Ihor Mykhailovych Kushnir, Head of the Laboratory for Bacteriological Control of Quality and Safety of Veterinary Medicinal Products. Participation in this seminar was an important step toward strengthening interagency cooperation in the assessment of biological threats that may impact human, animal, and environmental health.

The seminar program included a comprehensive evaluation of existing risks, analysis of potential threats within the “One Health” framework, and identification of priority areas for coordinated response. In preparation for the event, participants took part in an online meeting focused on the preliminary prioritization of biological threats.

The participation of our Institute’s specialist in this seminar contributes to the integration of veterinary expertise into the national strategic risk assessment process and fosters cross-sectoral collaboration in public health and safety.
