Dear FVE and UEVP members,
It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Hugo Fernandez, the EAZWV Executive Director, who tragically lost his life in a fatal traffic accident last Friday.
Hugo joined the EAZWV as Executive Director 18 months ago and quickly became an integral part of our community, participating actively in all FVE and UEVP General Assemblies. As the FVE Secretariat, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to work closely with Hugo and witness firsthand his dedication and passion for our profession.
His untimely loss has come as a tremendous shock to us all. Hugo was not only a devoted advocate for the veterinary profession but also a remarkable person whose warmth, positivity, and ever-present smile made working with him a true pleasure.
Our hearts and deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time. Hugo’s presence, enthusiasm, and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A memorial page has been created to honour Hugo’s memory. We encourage you to join us in sharing pictures, memories, thoughts, and messages of love. The page will be shared with his wife and family to commemorate his life and legacy.

The whole FVE and UEVP team,
