Veterinarians Without Borders Information

Working with public-sector and private partners, we develop the power of people and systems to promote veterinary health education, promotion and capacity while directly improving veterinary care. VWB’s approach is to integrate professionals from public, institutional and private veterinary practice to develop clinical, as well as teaching/training skills, in veterinary students and practitioners to disseminate that knowledge to people around the world. We aim to assist people who live in areas with limited knowledge of animal care, livestock production, areas of devastation from conflict limiting capacity, and areas of limited livestock production from endemic or epidemic disease. We believe that by increasing awareness of principle diseases affecting species of interest, as well as, basic husbandry practices such as feeding, housing and basic care, we will improve productive capacity and livelihoods, while limiting diseases transmitted between animals and man.
