Evet

Grant in 2021
Livestock animal healthcare in Africa is fundamentally broken. In a place like Nigeria, for every 100,000 livestock farmers there is less than 5 veterinary doctors to serve them and even very limited veterinary diagnostic laboratories to assist animal healthcare experts to better diagnose and treat effectively. This further affects our food system as about 40% livestock animals are lost to diseases annually. At Evet we are committed to solving this problem by building an end to end tech enabled solution that conveniently delivers quality animal healthcare to farmer's door step. Our solution is making it ten times faster and cheaper for farmers and veterinarians to detect diseases early enough and prevent diseases outbreak
