Mumbai Hospitals Struggle with ARV Shortage Amidst Rising Bites

Imagine you get bitten by a dog or cat.

To prevent a dangerous disease called rabies, you need a special shot.

But in Mumbai, the hospitals don't have enough of these shots!

This means people have to go to other hospitals far away, or pay a lot of money at private clinics.

The problem started because the city didn't order enough of the shots on time.

Doctors are worried because rabies is very serious, but the shots can stop it if you get them fast.

The city is trying to get more shots and is even using a new kind of treatment, but it takes time.
