World Rabies day
World Rabies Day (WRD) is observed each year on September 28, promoted by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control to raise awareness of the consequences of human and animal rabies and how to prevent it.
The world has the vaccines, medicines, tools, and technologies to break the cycle of one of the oldest diseases. Together in unity we can eliminate rabies.
The World Rabies Day theme for 2024 is ‘Breaking Rabies Boundaries’, which was chosen to highlight the need for progress and moving beyond the status quo. Rabies control programmes offer a great example to operationalize One Health – building the structures and trust that are crucial to establish systems for other zoonotic diseases, including those that are pandemic-prone. This theme calls for innovative strategies and collaboration across various sectors and regions, highlighting the importance of integrating human, animal, and environmental health efforts. By breaking boundaries, we can overcome geographic, socio-economic, and educational barriers, ensuring widespread vaccination, awareness, and access to medical care. This unified approach is crucial in the fight against rabies, fostering a world where the disease is no longer a threat to both humans and animals.
