clinical skill laboratories in low- and middle-income countries, we proactively support
country and regional partners with Official Development Assistance funding to strengthen
health systems, including through our £5m Animal Health Systems Strengthening Project,

and detection of animal diseases.</p><p> </p><p>We have also developed and delivered
e-learning modules for over 200 veterinary professionals and paraprofessionals working
