WHO WE ARE

The South African Animal Health Association (SAAHA) started operating as a Non-Profit Company on 1 January 2003. The Association, a "daughter" under the umbrella of AVCASA (Association of Veterinary and Crop Associations) used to be a division of AVCASA but is now an autonomous Association representing 90% of animal health product importers, manufacturers and suppliers in South Africa.

SAAHA is controlled by an Executive Council consisting of nominated individuals from all ordinary member companies. The President of SAAHA is Alan Kloeck (MSD Animal Health) and the Vice President is Glynn Catton (Stride Distributors). SAAHA is a member of the HealthForAnimals, a non-profit, non-governmental organization representing companies and industry associations from both developed and developing countries.
