Brazil has donated 15,000 doses of human rabies vaccine to Haiti, intended to protect humans after they have been exposed to rabies.
The Pan American health Organisation (PAHO) said that the donation, made with the support of the Pan American Foot-and-Mouth Disease Center (PANAFTOSA) was delivered by Brazilian Minister of Health Ricardo Barros during a visit to Haiti last week.
PAHO said the region of the Americas, which includes the Caribbean, is very close to eliminating human rabies transmitted by dogs, adding that Haiti is one of the priority countries.
PAHO, through PANAFTOSA, its specialized center in Veterinary Public Health, said it supports national actions in Haiti to eliminate this disease.
