Mobile Veterinary Unit

Ziqitza Healthcare Limited is now all set to step into veterinary services with its latest government contract of running mobile veterinary units in Uttar Pradesh. The service area assigned to ZHL covers 14 districts in the western part of the state. A total of 92 MVUs will offer medical care to domestic and street animals, birds and reptiles in Uttar Pradesh, as a part of the Animal Husbandry Department’s unique initiative .A Mobile Veterinary Unit (MVU) is a specialized vehicle that is designed to provide medical care to animals in areas that may not have access to traditional veterinary services. These units are often used in rural or remote areas where it may be difficult to transport animals to veterinary clinics.

The MVUs which will be specially deployed for treating animals will be fully equipped with all lifesaving apparatus and will also have a team of three members- veterinarian, a para veterinarian and a helper. 50% of MVUs will operate on a fixed route and attend to any diseased or injured animal on the way. Remaining MVUs will be linked to the call centre and will reach the location on demand. For this, a toll-free number 1962 is being set up in Lucknow. The ambulances will treat the animals on the location itself.

These units will offer a range of services, including vaccinations, spaying and neutering, and emergency medical care. One of the key benefits of a Mobile Veterinary Unit is that it can reach areas that may not have access to traditional veterinary services. This can be especially important in rural areas, where animals may not have regular access to medical care. The MVU can help prevent the spread of disease and keep animals healthy, which is not only important for the animals but also for the community as a whole.
