The event is located in the Birim North District of Ghana's Eastern Region, aiming to provide free rabies mass vaccination for both dogs and cats in 5 towns. This campaign not only addresses the welfare of these animals but also addresses crucial public health concerns such as rabies.
As part of this effort, extensive community education programmes are being implemented across various settings such as schools, marketplaces, community centres, and places of worship. The objective is to raise awareness and educate the community members about the importance of pet vaccination, responsible pet ownership, and the potential health risks associated with unvaccinated animals.
By combining mass vaccination with widespread community education, this initiative seeks to create a safer and healthier environment for both the residents and their beloved pets. It not only promotes animal welfare but also contributes to the overall well-being of the community, preventing the spread of diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. This comprehensive approach reflects a commitment to public health and the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals in the Birim North District.
