A free veterinary camp was held in Gilgit-Baltistan, bringing essential veterinary services to the remote village of Barkhas. The event was organized through a collaborative effort by the district administration, the FCNA, and the government’s livestock department under the auspices of the SIFC.
This landmark event provided much-needed care to 2,840 animals, addressing the critical health needs of livestock in this underserved region. In addition to the main camp, mobile ambulances extended services to the distant pastures of Deter Valley, ensuring that even the most isolated areas received veterinary attention.
At the camp, experts educated farmers and residents on various livestock diseases, their treatments, and the importance of vaccinations. The services offered included comprehensive animal examinations, treatments, pregnancy diagnosis, deworming, and vaccinations.
The local community expressed their gratitude for the initiative, praising the organizers for their dedication to improving animal health and welfare. Residents voiced their hope for more such camps in the future to ensure the continued health and productivity of their livestock.
This initiative has been widely appreciated, with citizens commending the SIFC for its commitment to the development and prosperity of the region. The successful execution of this veterinary camp marks a significant step forward in supporting the agricultural backbone of Gilgit-Baltistan.
