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.
