ENSURING PROPER AND TIMELY PROPHYLAXIS AGAINST RABIES; HOW FAR CAN WE BRIDGE THE GAPS

Abstract

Rabies is a fatal disease still having high prevalence in India. Though safe and
effective biologicals are available for pre-exposure and post exposure
prophylaxis, thousands of people die from the disease every year. To achieve the
goal to eliminate rabies by 2030, serious efforts have to be made to bridge the
gaps in supply, availablity and accessibility of rabies biologicals.
