Dr. Magdy Hassan, the general captain of veterinarians, announced the completion of the union's preparation of a comprehensive draft of the amendments to the union law No. 48 of 1969, stressing that this step comes within the framework of the union's keenness to keep pace with the successive developments in the veterinary labor market, where the current law is unable to keep pace with the professional, economic and social reality experienced by veterinarians at the moment.
The interests of veterinarians
The general captain of veterinarians said that the law in force until now, more than five decades ago, contains many materials that have become obsolete and do not serve the interests of veterinarians, and sometimes it is an obstacle to the development of the profession and practice optimally, pointing out that some materials need to be radically modified, including those that require membership of the Socialist Union for membership of the union, a condition that no longer exists for decades, in addition to many other materials that need a comprehensive review to ensure the full protection.

Interested parties
Dr. Majdi Hassan pointed out that the union will launch a broad community dialogue involving all concerned parties, including union members from different governorates and disciplines, sub-unions, legal experts, and representatives of government agencies and relevant institutions, in order to reach the best possible formula for amendments that enjoy wide consensus and benefit all veterinarians and serve the interest of the union and the profession.
Dr. Majdi Hassan stressed that the union is keen to listen to all opinions and ideas that will enrich the discussion and improve the level of proposed amendments to ensure the emergence of a modern law that meets the needs of veterinarians and raises the level of the profession.
The general captain of veterinarians explained that after the end of the community dialogue and the absorption of all proposals and observations, the union will draft the final version of the amendments in preparation for submission to the next House of Representatives for discussion and approval, expressing the hope that these amendments will receive the approval of the Council because of their importance in regulating the veterinary profession and protecting the rights of its practitioners.
