World Vets works in collaboration with local animal welfare group SpayPanama, who also operate an ongoing sterilization campaign for companion animals. We have sent numerous veterinary teams to regions all over Panama to provide support for these ongoing spay and neuter programs. A few areas where we have worked include Isla Grande, Gorgona and Panama City.

Just recently two of the Nicaraguan veterinary students, whom we provide regular training, had the opportunity to travel to Panama for further training at the SpayPanama facillity.
