About the Program

The Rabies Control Program Sindh is a comprehensive initiative aimed at eliminating rabies through a coordinated approach of dog vaccination, public education, and improved access to post-exposure prophylaxis.

Our program follows the WHO's Zero by 30 strategic plan, which aims to achieve zero human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by 2030. Through collaboration with local governments, healthcare facilities, and community organizations, we're working to make Sindh rabies-free.

How Our Program Works

Our comprehensive approach follows a proven process to eliminate rabies through coordinated efforts across multiple sectors.

Surveillance & Monitoring

Our teams continuously monitor rabies cases and animal populations across Sindh to identify high-risk areas and track progress.
