The launch of the centre is part of the Authority's efforts to elevate the quality of veterinary and agricultural services and facilitate their access for the residents of Al Sila.

It also offers agricultural and livestock extension services to ensure the adoption of best practices in animal healthcare.

ADAFSA emphasised that the opening of the Al Sila Veterinary and Agricultural Services Centre is a strategic step toward modernising service frameworks, strengthening biosecurity, and ensuring the sustainability of agricultural and animal production in the Emirate.

The Authority noted that the centre represents a qualitative addition to the region's infrastructure, contributing to reduced service delivery times and providing direct support to farmers and breeders. It also enhances the readiness of field teams to respond swiftly to agricultural and veterinary emergencies.

The centre embodies ADAFSA’s dedication to expanding its geographical footprint to meet local community needs and contribute to an improved quality of life in Al Sila.
