Community outreach
Community involvement is key to prevent and treat Rabies cases
As community health workers, we have a unique opportunity to educate and empower our communities about rabies prevention and control. Here are some key points to cover in your engagement with the community:
- Rabies is a deadly disease transmitted to humans by infected animals, most commonly dogs.
- Children are particularly vulnerable due to their frequent interactions with dogs.
- Rabies cannot be treated once symptoms appear, but timely intervention can prevent the disease from developing.
- If someone is bitten, scratched, or licked on broken skin by a potentially rabid animal, immediate and correct treatment is crucial. This period before symptoms appear is vital for stopping the disease.
- Rabies spreads through the saliva of infected animals, typically via bites, scratches, or licks on broken skin.
