Amici Cannis – delivering access to veterinary care to indigenous villages in Ecuador

Drs. Heather and Phillip Steyn, founders and medical advisors of Amici Cannis, will discuss their efforts to deliver access to veterinary care to indigenous villages in Ecuador. They will also explain how the organization stopped the culling of street animals by the local government and has managed to stabilize the numbers through a rigorous spay/neuter and preventive care program. We will hear about their approach to access to veterinary care in indigenous villages and how their education program in schools has already yielded positive results. The veterinary externship program for students from US-based universities,will also be introduced.
