World Vets has been the veterinary non-governmental organization (NGO) represented on two U.S. Navy led humanitarian aid missions since 2009. These missions facilitate free medical, dental and veterinary services to nations located in the South Pacific, South East Asia, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. World Vets contributes veterinary manpower and skills to accomplish the mission’s objectives by organizing volunteer opportunities for veterinary professionals.
The goal of these missions is to strengthen alliances, improve upon the capacity to deliver humanitarian assistance and disaster relief and finally to improve security cooperation among partner nations.
World Vets veterinary teams live on-board the designated ship for the mission and provide veterinary services onshore. Our teams work alongside and in collaboration with US Army vets and technicians as well as government agencies, educational institutions and local veterinarians and animal health care professionals in host nations.
Pacific Partnership is an annual U.S. Pacific Fleet humanitarian and civic assistance mission designed to work by, with and through host and partner nations, non-government organizations and international agencies to build partnerships and a collective ability to respond to natural disasters
