Home: NEWS: 3-8 SEPTEMBER: RABIES WEEK CAMPAIGN
Rabies is fully preventable and yet results in thousands of human deaths per year. According to the World Health Organization an estimated 55 000 human deaths occur worldwide per year due to canine rabies, accounting for 1 death and 300 exposures every 15 minutes. Almost all human fatalities occur in developing countries with 56% occurring in Asia and 44% in Africa. In Africa a great number of human rabies deaths occurs year-after-year, seemingly unnoticed. Rabies is primarily a disease of children, who are particularly at risk due to their close contact with dogs, and are more likely than adults to suffer multiple bites and bites to the face and head, both of which impose a higher risk of contracting rabies.
The Department of Agriculture provides Rabies inoculations to previously disadvantaged communities during this time. Full programme:
