The first-ever global list of essential veterinary medicines for working equines and livestock is being created under the auspices of the World Veterinary Association (WVA) and international charity Brooke.
The list will contain basic medicines and vaccinations, selected for their relevance, efficacy and cost-effectiveness that should be available in every country to every veterinarian. The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that about two billion people have no access to essential medicines and it is believed the issue is even worse within animal populations. It is the WVA and Brooke’s aim that no vet should be equipped with the knowledge and skills, but not the medicines in order to relieve pain and suffering.
