Підтримка студентів ветеринарної медицини
В зв’язку з численними ініціативами підтримки українських студентів ветеринарної медицини або студентів, які навчаються в Україні, ми створили сторінку підтримки студентів Vet Students support щоб об’єднати всі ці ініціативи.

IVSA members are committed to taking action to support veterinary students and animals of Ukraine in the light of recent events. The Task Force named “Vet Students for Ukraine” recruited IVSA members to be part of this Team. The President and the IVSA European Team are already working closely on possible solutions.
- Collection of supplies to be delivered to Ukraine
- Collection of funds to support organisations working with animals and refugees
- Providing veterinary students with a platform to feel supported as part of the IVSA family
- Establishing a database of student initiatives aiming to support Ukraine, as well as a database with contact details for our Member Organizations from countries bordering with Ukraine
