Empowering dog owners and One Health teams to eliminate rabies: A community-Led approach from Techiman metropolitan, Ghana
The success of the intervention demonstrates that community empowerment and integration of veterinary and human health services through the One Health model are critical to interrupting rabies transmission. The approach provides a scalable framework for rabies control in other endemic settings, supporting the World Health Organisation's Zero-by-2030 strategy for global rabies elimination.
