Delhi Declares Rabies a Notifiable Disease

The Delhi government is going to declare rabies a notifiable disease.

This means that all hospitals and doctors must report any cases of rabies to the health authorities.

Rabies is a serious disease that animals can give to people through their saliva.

It can make people very sick and is usually fatal once symptoms appear.

However, it can be prevented with vaccines.

By making rabies a notifiable disease, the government wants to track the disease better, stop it from spreading, and make sure people get treated quickly.

This is part of a plan to reduce rabies deaths to zero.

So far, 20 states in India have already made rabies a notifiable disease.
