BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 2. Leyla Aliyeva,
Vice-President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and founder and head
of the IDEA Public Union, attended the opening of the regional
branch of the newly established Stray Animal Care Center in the
city of Yevlakh.
Leyla Aliyeva familiarized herself with the conditions created
at the Center and toured the facilities designated for the
reception, examination, treatment, vaccination, sterilization, and
rehabilitation of stray animals.
Established on the initiative of Leyla Aliyeva, the regional
branch aims to provide care for stray animals, ensure sanitary and
epidemiological safety, organize the registration, examination, and
treatment of animals, and carry out preventive and other
veterinary-sanitary measures.
The complex, covering a total area of 2.5 hectares, includes a
clinic equipped with modern medical equipment, dedicated sections
for the observation and treatment of animals, as well as
administrative and auxiliary buildings, including a quarantine
facility.
The new center in Yevlakh will operate as the regional branch of
the Stray Animal Care Center under the Baku City Executive
Authority. An assessment of the situation regarding stray animals
in the country's regions demonstrated the need to expand these
services beyond the capital. The establishment of the Yevlakh
branch took into account the city's strategic geographical location
at the intersection of major transport routes connecting different
regions of Azerbaijan. The regional branch will enable a faster
response to reports concerning stray animals in Yevlakh and the
surrounding cities and districts.
