LEGAZPI, Philippines - Service members from the U.S Army, U.S. Navy, Philippine Armed Forces and Republic of Korea Navy collaborate with the Legazpi City Veterinary Office, professors and students from the Seoul National University College of Veterinary Medicine, as well as volunteer veterinarians, veterinary assistants and technicians from the Albay region to provide a Pacific Partnership 2024-2 (PP24-2) spay and neuter clinic in Legazpi, Philippines. The clinic is a side-by-side public health and capacity building exchange focused on public awareness in pet ownership, canine and feline population control as well as valuable training opportunities to veterinary students. Now in its 20th iteration, the Pacific Partnership series is the largest annual multinational humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Indo-Pacific. Pacific Partnership works collaboratively with host and partner nations to enhance regional interoperability and disaster response capabilities, increase security and stability in the region, and foster new and enduring friendships in the Indo-Pacific.
