Public Health in Colombian Zoos. A challenge for Veterinary Medicine

This reflection aims to analyze the current status of public health management in zoos. In turn, it seeks to establish the importance of addressing this problem during the training and professional practice of veterinarians. The current situation of public health in Colombian zoos has weaknesses that are potentially correctable from both the academia and the daily practice of professionals directly or indirectly related. This becomes a challenge for educational institutions of related professions, zoos and veterinarians. Although some approximations have been made in this regard, information on this issue is still scarce.
