Abstract

Rabies kills 59,000 people globally and exerts an economic toll to the tune of USD 8.6 billion. Africa and Asia bear the greatest burden, where the disease is neglected and thus continues to ravage the poor and marginalized regions, especially children. Under the auspices of the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC), the tripartite (the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) developed a world strategy that outlines a road map towards achieving zero human deaths by 2030. In 2014, Kenya developed a national strategy focusing on four main planks (1) Mass dog vaccination, (2) provision of pre- and post-vaccine prophylaxis, (3) education and awareness and (4) increased surveillance.
