Free camp to mark World Zoonosis Day
Staff Reporter
HYDERABAD:
The Osmania Medical College Doctors' Forum and the College of Veterinary Sciences will jointly organize a free canine Anti-Rabies vaccination camp at the Veterinary Hospital at Bhoiguda from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on July 6 on the occasion of World Zoonoses Day.
The camp, being organised in partnership with Brilliant Industries Limited, proposes to eliminate the dreadful rabies and to prevent the transmission of Zoonosis, a disease that is transmitted from animals to man.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, OMCD Forum president K. Suresh said over 200 types of Zoonoses were identified world over.
More than 200 people were being bitten by dogs in the city every day and 60 per cent of the victims were children below fifteen years.
A majority of these children were not being treated properly because their exposures go unreported to parents or to Health department officials.
With the city having over 1.5 lakh stray dogs, it was essential to have all the dogs vaccinated, Dr. Suresh said.
