CLINVET - First Edition

The Spanky Project would like to send our most heartfelt congratulations to Dr.Fernando Gispert, and all involved, in the publishing of the inaugural edition of CLINVET.

Here's a bit of background from Susana Hurlich Spanky Project’s Coordinator of Programs in Havana.
“Clinvet is an idea Fernan has had for a number of years but he didn't have the time to follow up and make it a reality nor did he have the authorization to do it. But a year ago, CCVC (national) authorized the magazine - and only now has Fernan been able to produce and issue the first edition.

He wanted to put it up on the website of Medicina Veterinaria de Desastres (Veterinary Medicine for Disasters), which comes under the CCVC, but the CCVC couldn't do this as they said they have very little MB to put something as large as Clinvet up. They - CCVC - said they could do it as a link but they're still investigating this and it hasn't yet been done.”

In the first edition we are elated that Spanky Project initiatives get four mentions.
All are related to Dr.Hester Massop’s month long collaboration with Cubans and their animals.

We hope you enjoy the read and we look forward to Hester’s follow up.



PS FOR SOME REASON I HAVE HAD MAJOR GRIEF FORMATTING THIS POSTING.

IT AIN'T A WORK OF ART ....
