KATHMANDU, June 7: Nepal Veterinary Association, umbrella organization of Nepalese veterinarians, has started its 24 hour telephonic consultancy service to animal owners across the country in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. The service will be effective from 8th June 2021.

Consultant vets, who are the members of Association, will be receiving the call for 7 days a week and 24 hours a day.
The association came up with the idea of a telephonic helpline as the country is currently under prohibitory order. This service will continue at least during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Association has published around 300 phone numbers of veterinarians for additional one to one consultation. This facility can be extended to video consultation as deemed necessary.
