Kenya Women Veterinary Association To Conduct Population Control For Cats, Dogs.A delegation from the Kenya Women Veterinary Association (KWVA) led by Chairperson Dr Marilyn Karani is in Turkana County for a cats and dogs’ population control exercise as part of zoonosis disease control activity in Kakuma.
The activity will take place from Thursday, March 17, to Saturday, March 19, 2022 and it will include surgical population control of dogs and cats through neutering and spraying as well as vaccination of dogs and donkeys.
Speaking during a courtesy call on Deputy Governor Peter Lotethiro in Lodwar, Dr Karani said Turkana West had been targeted due to statistics showing prevalence of zoonotic diseases in the Sub-County.
She urged the County Government to continuously train experts in the field to increase the number of skilled human resources which was critical for sustainability of the programme.
She was accompanied by KWVA Committee Member, Dr Ruphline Margaret.
The team is in the County which kicks off a five-year partnership campaign to eradicate rabies and hydatid diseases in the County.
