Through VetHealth, AKI aims to further contribute to national development initiatives across the region, such as the UAE\u2019s National Food Security Strategy 2051.<\/p>\n<p>Headquartered in the UAE, VetHealth supports both the commercial animal production sector and the rapidly expanding companion animal market. Its establishment comes as the Middle East and Africa\u2019s (MEA) veterinary healthcare market is projected to rise to $6.91 billion by 2033 , driven by a demand for livestock productivity alongside a significant surge in pet ownership.<\/p>\n<p>At launch, VetHealth operates across five core divisions: Pharmaceuticals, Biologicals, Biosecurity, Nutrition, and Diagnostics. VetHealth will partner closely with regional and global leaders in these disciplines to accelerate their market expansion and long-term business growth.<\/p>\n<p>Backed by AKI\u2019s six-decade legacy in the healthcare industry, VetHealth is ready to serve a wide range of customers, from animal farms and feed mills to veterinary clinics, pharmacies, and government entities operating at the intersection of animal care and food-producing animal biosecurity. By combining AKI\u2019s expertise in healthcare innovation and its extensive regional distribution network, the landmark investment behind VetHealth positions AKI as a defining force in animal health across the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnimal health is a strategic enabler of food security, public health, and long-term economic resilience. Through this investment, we are building VetHealth as a regional platform that connects governments, producers, veterinary professionals, and global partners with trusted, world-class solutions. This is a long-term commitment to strengthening the systems that protect animals, people, and communities across the region,\u201d said Zaid S.
