Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Eighteen people lost their lives to rabies in Mozambique from January to June this year, out of a total of 10,054 people bitten by dogs.<\/p>\n

The figures were cited by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADER) on Tuesday as part of commemorations of World Rabies Day, marked on 28 September.<\/p>\n

According to MADER, there were 23 deaths and more than 23,000 reported dog bite incidents in 2021. The situation has spurred veterinary authorities to implement mechanisms to control rabies through the vaccination of animals such as dogs and cats.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Mozambique, rabies is considered an endemic disease and is one of the priority zoonoses, being currently included in the National Plan for the Control of Zoonoses,\u201d the MADER statement reveals.<\/p>\n

Further on, the document states that, in the first half of the year, only 105,396 dogs and cats were vaccinated out of the more than 450,000 expected by the end of the year. The immunisation campaign will be intensified in the coming days.<\/p>\n

World Health Organisation literature indicates that rabies causes some 59,000 deaths each year.<\/p>\n

Rabies, which is transmitted by biting, is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the nervous system of almost all mammals. Symptoms include paralysis of the larynx, pharynx and masticatory muscles, followed by depression, coma and, in extreme cases, death from respiratory paralysis.<\/p>\n

WRD 2022: One Health, Zero Rabies<\/b><\/p>\n

World Rabies Day is celebrated each year on September 28 as a tribute to Louis Pasteur, the inventor of the world\u2019s first effective rabies vaccine. The day is observed to promote the fight against rabies, raise awareness of its prevention, and celebrate the achievements the world has made against this deadly disease. This year sees the 16th World Rabies Day.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s World Rabies Day theme is \u201cOne Health, Zero Rabies\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has shown the stark vulnerabilities of health systems but it also demonstrated what collaboration across sectors can achieve,\u201d World Rabies Day literature proclaims.<\/p>\n

\u201cRabies control programmes offer a great example for One Health implementation and the structures and trust that underpin these are crucial for other zoonotic diseases, including those that are pandemic-prone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world has the vaccines, medicines, tools, and technologies to break the cycle of one of the world\u2019s oldest diseases.<\/p>\n

\u201cZero by 30: Global Strategic Plan for the elimination of dog-mediated human rabies deaths by 2030 is an ambitious document with achievable targets. It is aligned with the new NTD roadmap that prioritises integrated interventions and mainstreaming of NTD programmes within national health systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe integrated approaches advocated in both the Global Strategic Plan for rabies and the road map are relevant, as they show the importance of working together optimally and collaboratively in face of numerous challenges, as experienced during the current COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is therefore critical to work with stakeholders, champions, and people at community, local, national, and global levels to rebuild and strengthen health systems and rabies control programs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today is #WorldRabiesDay! Rabies is a vaccine preventable disease, with most victims being children in poor communities in Africa & Asia.<\/p>\n
