September 28 is World Rabies Day, a global health observance started in 2007 to raise awareness about the world’s deadliest infectious disease and bring together partners to enhance prevention and control efforts worldwide.

• World Rabies Day is an opportunity to reflect on how rabies impacts your community and other communities around the world. 
• This year’s World Rabies day theme, “Rabies: All for 1, One Health for All” in reference to Alexandre Dumas’s famous novel, builds on the 2022 success of One Health, taking it a step further to focus more on collaboration, equality, and the strengthening of health systems. 
• The WHO has set a goal of eliminating dog-mediated human rabies by 2030. The strategic advisory group of experts of the WHO needed the current scenario of the health-seeking behaviour of exposed individuals and the use of rabies vaccines and immunoglobulin in rabies-endemic countries.
