Process and Constraint Analysis of Paraprofessionals regulation and legalisation

This study identifies influential actors in the integration of paraprofessionals, constraints and the best possible approach of integration. The research design is qualitative. The main problems are; poor veterinary legislation, limited finance, absence of organized and strong veterinarian and paraprofessional associations and low level of training among paraprofessionals. The most feasible integration approach is the moderate system. It was recommended that the veterinary surgeon act and paraprofessional bill should be passed in parliament, the Uganda Veterinary Board strengthened, more veterinarians and paraprofessionals need to be trained and establishment of veterinary training institutions and associations.
