VOICED : Lima's vet of the poor brings cheap healthcare to slum dogs

The Oasis Clinic in El Salvador, Peru, provides affordable veterinary care to a community that cannot afford regular vet services. Founded by Francisco, the clinic operates on a pay-what-you-can model, supported by donations and volunteers. It aims to reduce pet health issues by encouraging vaccinations and neutering, addressing the high number of stray dogs in Lima. The clinic plays a crucial role in helping residents care for their pets, offering services at a fraction of the usual cost.
