Our global footprint
We work in over 20 countries worldwide, in regions prone to infectious outbreaks, and mount our own projects, working closely with local and international partners. We engage the public and private sectors and embrace a One Health approach, crossing boundaries between human and veterinary medicine. We also participate in other partners’ projects, providing financial, operational or human resources.
