World Rabies Day

Mpala invites you to join a discussion around the topic of rabies. As the world battles a pandemic caused by a virus, our panel of experts will share insights on how a grass-roots campaign and collaboration can help eradicate the rabies virus.

Rabies is considered one of the world neglected diseases. Our panellists will discuss the formation and success of the Laikipia Rabies Vaccination Campaign (LRVC) and the goal of eradication of rabies in Kenya by 2030. Using a ‘One Health’ approach, the LRVC has piloted a robust and effective field-based effort towards this goal.
