Exploring the social and organizational factors influencing dog bites: a qualitative study
The findings underscore the need for integrated interventions to manage and prevent dog bites. These interventions, which should be implemented at both local and national levels, include local education in the Balochi dialect, strengthening inter-institutional coordination, and sustainable budget allocation. National policies can create a preventive environment to reduce the burden of this problem by empowering local communities, highlighting the importance of collaboration in addressing this issue.
