Thoubal, October 28 2023:
The District Health Society Thoubal organised a one-day capacity building workshop for medical officers and nurses under the National Rabies Control Program at District Hospital Thoubal Conference Hall today.
Resource persons at the event advised the people to promptly get vaccinated at the nearest health care centre if they get bitten or scratched by dogs or cats.
Meanwhile, Dr Ksh Maglem spoke in detail on 'Prevention and Control of Rabies', Dr Trusty on 'National Rabies Control Programme' and Dr Ch Prem on 'Reporting of cases' .
It may be noted that rabies is a 100% fatal but 100% preventable disease if precautions are taken at the right time.
