In this episode, Anthony and Shereene discuss livestock medicines, and Brooke's new challenge, alongside WVA, to create the first ever global list of essential veterinary medicines for livestock. Shereene shares Brooke's history as a charity, what they do and the countries they work in, as well as giving a bit of history on her own career to date. They discuss the research Brooke has been doing on what medicines different countries have access to, and how this is hindering the level of veterinary care that some countries can achieve. Finally, Shereene explains how this new global list of essential veterinary medicines for livestock will offer guidance to help ensure countries have the range of medicines they need.
