Foundation DIO is a dutch foundation for veterinary science in developing cooperation. It is a member of VSF-europe (veterinaires sans frontieres)and strives to provide veterinary help to the poorest populations in developing countries, bearing in mind the prevailing social, cultural and ecological circumstances.
DIO works in close co-operation with the local population and aims to enable them to work independently to increase the health and productivity of their cattle. The most significant service DIO offers is the Veterinary Information Service (VIS) which allows farmers and veterinarians in developing countries to ask for solutions for specific animal health problems.
