All over the world animals are facing unbelievable hardship and lacking even the most basic level of care. This is why, in 2003, veterinarian Dr Luke Gamble set up Worldwide Veterinary Service (WVS) to deliver much-needed veterinary aid to animals in places where it is lacking. Today, WVS provides free care to animals around the world, as well as support for other animal charities with medication, equipment and volunteers. Education is at our core. Our International Training Centres provide world-class training courses for veterinary professionals. The training empowers both local and international vets with the knowledge, skills and confidence to treat animals and complete surgical procedures, raising the standard of care and ensuring effective practices can be continued into the future. Since WVS began, we have directly treated over 570,000 animals, shipped more than 11,000 veterinary aid parcels, and trained over 7,700 veterinary professionals. Together, we are making a real lasting change to the standard of animal welfare globally.
