Public Veterinary Hospital in Manaus Offers Free Care, Modern Facility, and More Than 60 Professionals Dedicated to the Health of Dogs and Cats

According to G1, which classified the unit as the largest public veterinary hospital in Latin America, Manaus inaugurated this Saturday (4), World Animal Day, a pioneering space located on Mário Ypiranga Avenue, in the Parque 10 neighborhood. The hospital is the first state-managed facility in the country and has already begun providing free care to dogs and cats from low-income families.

The unit represents an unprecedented advancement for Amazonas as it expands the population’s access to animal health care, with a modern and fully equipped structure.

Operation and Service Capacity

Services will be provided from Monday to Friday, from 8 AM to 5 PM, and on Saturdays, from 8 AM to 12 PM. Daily, 300 tickets will be distributed for services such as consultations, vaccinations, exams, and spay/neuter procedures.

During the inauguration, the public was able to participate in activities such as vaccination application and food distribution, in partnership with private companies.

These actions marked the symbolic start of the hospital’s activities and demonstrated the immediate impact of the initiative.

Structure and Specialized Team

More than 60 professionals will work at the hospital, which will also serve as a teaching and internship center for Veterinary Medicine students.

The two-story building received an investment of R$ 3.7 million and features offices, laboratories, a vaccination room, pharmacy, surgical center, hospitalization bays, infirmary, and an auditorium with capacity for 50 people.

In addition, the hospital offers complete laboratory tests — including blood tests and rapid tests for distemper, parvovirus, FIV, and FeLV — as well as imaging diagnostics, such as X-ray, ultrasound, and electrocardiogram.

Historic Achievement for Animal Welfare

Governor Wilson Lima emphasized that the hospital is the result of a long-standing struggle by protectors and volunteers.

Before there was none, now there is. This delivery is the result of the struggle of people who have taken this cause as a life mission,” he stated.

For veterinarian Pauline Voss, from the Guardians of Animals association, the impact will be enormous. According to her, access to free exams and surgeries will reduce costs and increase the number of successful rescues and treatments.

The new hospital symbolizes an important step in the care and appreciation of animal life, making Amazonas a national example of public policy focused on pet welfare.
