We've helped vaccinate dogs against rabies across 7 countries:
Romania • Egypt • Türkiye • Afghanistan • Pakistan • India • Sri Lanka

A stray dog isn't automatically a public health threat.
When fear of rabies becomes fear of dogs, good public health policy can very quickly become bad animal welfare policy.

Is treatment available to people who are bitten?
Where is the control strategy?
