World Rabies Day 2023 [1]

[]

Date: 2023-09-28

September 28th 2023 is the 17th World Rabies Day.



This year’s World Rabies Day theme is: “All for 1, One Health for all”.

28 September this year will mark the 17th World Rabies Day. This year’s theme ‘All for 1, One Health for all’ highlights that One Health is not for a selected few but for everyone..







All for 1 – One Health for all

TRabies control programmes offer a great example to operationalize One Health - building the structures and trust that are crucial to establish systems for other zoonotic diseases, including those that are pandemic-prone.

Ensuring equitable access to health services and rabies post-exposure prophylaxis for underserved communities not only saves lives but also strengthens national health systems.

With the Zero by 30: Global Strategic Plan for the elimination of dog-mediated human rabies deaths by 2030 we have a shared global goal.

The world has the vaccines, medicines, tools, and technologies to break the cycle of one of the oldest diseases. Together in unity we can eliminate rabies. Leaving no one behind.

The theme further emphasizes the importance of equality, and strengthening overall health systems by ensuring that One Health is not for a select few but rather something that should be available to everyone.

By collaborating and joining forces across sectors, engaging communities and committing to sustain dog vaccination, together as 1 we can work towards 1 goal to eliminate 1 disease to make One Health available to all – using rabies as the example.
