To Dr. Jennifer Hood, BSc. Hons. BVMS, Ph.D. the director of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital Udayana University explained the development of the service program that had been carried out. Until now, many of the medical services that have utilized the AA program have come from underprivileged communities or neglected pet lovers. Until now, Prof. Puja said that there had been no user complaints about the services at VTH. Even a breakthrough program, namely mobile clinics, will also be carried out in the near future. The purpose of this program is to bring services closer to people in need.
This is the first visit from the Animal Australia Team to the international service program for the period 2022-2023. On this occasion, Dr. Jennifer Hood, BSc. Hons. BVMS, Ph.D as Veterinary Director of Animals Australia and Animals International praised the services at VTH which were said to be very satisfying. He got this from the catch on social media about medical services at the VTH that utilize the AA program. On that occasion also Dr. Jennifer Hood, BSc. Hons. BVMS, Ph.D. explained several important issues to be applied to this international service program for 2022-2023. Dr. Jennifer Hood, BSc. Hons. BVMS, Ph.D also made an offer to VTH staff to take part in a special specialist program in the field of anaesthesia. This is important considering that this field is very necessary for the community of pet owners, especially when they have to put their animals to anesthetized.
According to Prof. Puja, from the meeting that was held there were several interesting things for the future, namely Cooperation in increasing human resource capacity at the VTH. In addition, also this September, Animal Australia will invite experts in the field of parasitology who will provide knowledge related to the handling of parasitic diseases in pets.
