Tagline: Virtual vets
Champion: James Rao
Team: ASSP and LGI
Latest developments in ICTs offer a whole range of possibilities for surveillance, feedback to farmers and through that improve delivery of animal health services. However, there is still a shortage of expert veterinarians in the locations where it is needed. Therefore this project aims to use ICT tools for veterinary experts advising community animal health workers remotely (use of photos and videos). These experts could be located centrally and cover many cases per day and through that ensure early detection of epidemics, but most importantly, improve access to adequate veterinary advice by farmers.
