Rabies Awareness Talk Show

Rabies is a vaccine-preventable, zoonotic, viral disease. It is estimated to cause 60,000 human deaths annually in over 150 countries with 95% of cases occurring in Africa and Asia. In India, around 18,000-20,000 deaths occur every year. In which about 30-60% of reported rabies cases and deaths in India occur in children under the age of 15 years as bites that occur in children often go unrecognized and unreported. 99% of rabies cases are dog-mediated and the burden of disease is disproportionally borne by rural poor populations.
On the occasion of World Rabies Day, IHW.tv, a social-first digital platform for advocating health and wellbeing is organizing the Rabies Awareness Talk Show in association with Human Biological Institute.
