Download Can Africa get rid of rabies?
Rabies is a disease which is known across Africa, killing thousands of people each year through the bite or lick from an infected animal, usually a dog.
However, we have the vaccines to protect dogs against rabies, and we also have the vaccines to protect humans against rabies.
So why haven’t we eliminated rabies from Africa yet?
With the help of two people who are dedicated to ending rabies, we find out what needs to be done to end this deadly disease.
Presenter: Alan Kasujja
Guests: Salima Kadaoui, founder of the SFT Animal Sanctuary in Morocco, and Andre Coetzer, Technical Director of the Global Alliance for Rabies Control.
