3 July 2018

On that day, in addition to training for veterinarians, we had the pleasure to participate in a seminar on echinococcosis in Darot Koorgol. We were invited to give a presentation on our project activities.

We presented our proposals related to dog sterilization, rabies vaccination and echinococcosis control. The honorary guest of the seminar was Nurbek Murashev - Minister of Agriculture, Food Economy and Land reclamation of Kyrgyzstan. Before the seminar we had the honour to participate in a closed meeting with the Minister, during which we discussed the possibilities of further cooperation and development of the project. It was a great surprise that our doctor Daniel Figel was awarded the medal for the cooperation by the Minister of Agriculture, Food Economy and Land reclamation of Kyrgyzstan - Nurbek Murashev. In the evening we were invited by local veterinarians to a picnic by the river, which was a great opportunity to talk and learn about local customs.
