SERDANG, 6 March – The University Veterinary Hospital (UVH), Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (FPV), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) organised the programme “Meet & Talk UVH Edisi Khas bersama Naib Canselor UPM” on 4 March 2026 at the Student Surgery, FPV.

The Meet & Talk UVH session serves as an internal initiative that functions as a two-way communication platform between the management and hospital staff. Through this session, staff members were given the opportunity to receive briefings on the hospital’s current direction, planning and priorities based on its performance achievements and existing challenges, while also strengthening professional relationships among staff. This approach is important to ensure that every member of the hospital community understands their respective roles in supporting the delivery of quality veterinary services.

This edition of the programme featured the Vice Chancellor of Universiti Putra Malaysia, YBhg. Dato' Prof. Ir. Dr. Ahmad Farhan Mohd Sadullah, as the special guest who shared the university’s aspirations with the UVH community. In his speech, he expressed his highest congratulations and appreciation to all UVH staff for their commendable achievements throughout 2025.

He also expressed hope that UVH will continue to strengthen its role as a leading referral centre in the field of veterinary medicine in Malaysia. This role is significant as UVH is the pioneer government veterinary hospital in the country that provides integrated veterinary clinical services, teaching and learning, as well as research, in line with the core thrusts of the UPM True North strategic framework, namely service beyond expectations and the best learning and life experience.

The programme involved the participation of approximately 140 individuals comprising the faculty and hospital management team, UVH staff and clinical lecturers. The organisation of this programme is viewed as an important step in ensuring that hospital planning and operational implementation are carried out in a more integrated manner, in line with the aspirations of Universiti Putra Malaysia.
