Rabies surveillance systems
Rabies surveillance systems monitor and track rabies cases in humans and animals to prevent outbreaks and ensure public safety. These systems collect data from hospitals, laboratories, and veterinary clinics about rabies tests, diagnoses, and animal bites. This information helps health authorities identify where rabies is occurring, understand its spread, and implement control measures like vaccination campaigns and public awareness. Effective surveillance is crucial to detect cases early, respond quickly, and ultimately prevent the death and disease caused by rabies.
