Ep 7. A day in the life of: Dr Nalinika Obeyesekere (from Sri Lanka)

Meet Dr Nalinika Obeyesekere, a veterinarian who is passionate about animal behaviour education and started the first veterinary hospital in Sri Lanka. She talks to our host, Xavier, about evolution of companion animal medicine in Sri Lanka over the last 20 years. She was met with scepticism when she, and 2 other female veterinarians, started a veterinary hospital focussing on companion animals only but now the demand for companion animal veterinarians is higher than the availability. Find out more about some of the difficulties and 'red tape' she and her colleagues have faced and why she values the WSAVA community.
