Veterinary Education meets service delivery.

The Veterinary Consultation Room inaugurated at Katima Mulilo Campus yesterday is a game changer for farmers, pet owners and conservationists in the Zambezi region.

Prof Kenneth Matengu, UNAM’s Vice Chancellor in his remarks at the event emphasised:
“This Veterinary Consultation Room will help up serve the farmers better, train the next generation of veterinarians and contribute to the health of both animals and people in this region.

This is about impact. It is about taking expertise, resources and hope where it’s needed most,” he stated.

The Veterinary Consult Room is a critical resource for the Zambezi and KAZA region.
