Kathmandu, Nepal

The need for a long term and effective rabies control program in Nepal is urgent. Human rabies in the India and Nepal region contributes to over 50% of worldwide rabies fatalities annually. Responding to the severity of the situation, national agencies and veterinary colleges have initiated a number of rabies prevention and dog population control programs, however more help is needed.

VWB/VSF has conducted visits to assess the situation and is exploring opportunities for how to add value to developing rabies control initiatives and education in Nepal.
