The Chancellor of Shiraz University also stated that the struggle should be to try to prevent the society from any kind of disease or illness and in this sense, we must fix our concentration and attention on the Schools of Agriculture and Veterinary and combine these two academic centers to cooperate together, alongside the Medical University, in providing a healthier society for the country.
