Death toll from rabies in Sindh reaches 40
Published
A worrying increase in rabies cases (a disease caused by dog bites) has been observed in Pakistan's Sindh province. According to recent data, the number of deaths due to rabies has reached 40 so far this year.
This tragic situation came to light when an elderly man died at a hospital in Karachi. According to medical experts, this disease spreads through the bites of stray dogs and proves fatal due to the lack of timely vaccination.
Provincial health department officials say that measures are being taken to ensure the supply of vaccines in the affected areas. However, the shortage of anti-rabies vaccines in hospitals and the lack of timely medical assistance remain a major challenge.
Public circles are demanding that the government launch a campaign to eliminate stray dogs in streets and neighborhoods and maintain a permanent stock of vaccines in hospitals. Citizens have also been advised to immediately report to the nearest government hospital in case of a dog bite.
