Dr John Bassey – a veterinarian leading rabies elimination activities in Nigeria’s Cross River State – shares his own experiences with the GARC surveillance tools and Education courses, highlighting their impact on the State's rabies elimination efforts.
With more than 13,000 certified rabies educators already educating communities around the world, life-saving information about rabies elimination is being shared daily. But what if someone is unable to share these messages because of a language barrier? To address this, the GARC Education Platform now has more courses available in Spanish.
To ensure that people are empowered with the most relevant life-saving information about rabies and its prevention, GARC has recently revised and updated the foundational course on the GARC Education Platform – the Rabies Educator Certificate (REC).
This year’s call to action is one of education and hope for more lives saved as the IVSA has partnered with GARC to build a global network of future animal health professionals who are all rabies champions.
At the end of 2021, we celebrated a milestone when the 10,000th person graduated the Rabies Educator Certificate course. Find out how this life-saving information has reached millions of people around the world and hear from graduates about their experiences.
To ensure that animal health professionals are equipped with the latest and most relevant information regarding rabies vaccination, GARC has recently updated and revised the Animal Handling and Vaccination Certificate (AVC) course. For those people who play a role during dog vaccination campaigns, and who have not yet undertaken the course, now is the perfect opportunity.
Although most of us may be stuck in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that hasn’t stopped this fantastic group of people in China who have worked to translate the REC into Simplified Chinese. We have worked with our newest collaborators from CBCGDF in China to expand the reach of the GARC Education Platform, helping to save millions more lives.
