Veterinarians International What We Do & Why It Matters
Animals are being lost at an incredible rate, and some species will be gone forever. In Sri Lanka alone, they’ve lost 10% of the Asian elephant population just in the last two years! Care for animals truly means care for all, and veterinarians are a critical link in global health as advocates for animal well-being and for the prevention of dangerous diseases passing from animals to humans.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the link between human and animal health wasn’t as much of a concern. However, considering the current plight of the world there seems to be a lens on the way humans interact with the animal kingdom at large. Veterinarians International recognizes the importance of the One Health approach: the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment.
Veterinarians International is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization money raised ensures animals and local communities can coexist peacefully.
“The human-animal bond is an integral component to our well-being. I am pleased to incorporate behavior modification into Veterinarians International’s programs. We are not only preventing and eliminating the disease in both animals and people but enhancing welfare for all,” said Veterinarians International founder and president Dr. Scarlett Magda.
Veterinarians International seeks to create access to skilled veterinary care for all animals worldwide, exemplifying kindness and compassion toward animals and educating local communities to do the same. Our teams provide veterinary expertise, equipment, and supplies for both immediate aid and disease prevention; build the necessary infrastructure for animal care; and educate communities about animal health, behavior, and husbandry for long-term, sustainable solutions on their own. vetsinternational.org
