Zero by 30: The Global Strategic Plan to Prevent HumanDeaths from Dog-Transmitted Rabies by 2030

Overview

Rabies kills an estimated 59 000 people every year – 40% children in Asia and Africa. Dog bites cause almost all human cases. We can prevent rabies deaths through increased awareness, vaccinating dogs to prevent disease at its source, and life-saving post-bite treatment for people. Investing in rabies strengthens both human and veterinary health systems. We have the knowledge, tools, and technology to eliminate rabies. Until now, the global response has been fragmented and uncoordinated. We need to break the status quo: and come together with a combined will, an achievable goal and a common plan.
