The national action plan for the elimination of dog-mediated rabies: a one health approach is essential for india to reach its target by 2030

The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN), previously known as the Office International des Epizooties (OIE), along with the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC), engaged in comprehensive collaborative discussions in 2015 to develop the Global Strategic Plan aimed at eliminating human fatalities caused by dog-mediated rabies by the year 2030.[1] This plan encompasses three primary objectives: (1) halting the transmission of rabies in dogs through the use of vaccines, medications, tools and other technologies, while also decreasing human fatalities; (2) utilizing high-quality evidence to assess impact and effectively customize policy decisions; and (3) fostering collaboration among multiple stakeholders in action.
