PHILIPPINES
manila, Philippines (Local event)Rabies Pre-exposure program launch
Duration: Sept 23, 1 pm to Sept 24, 9 pm
The Pediatric Infectious Disease society of the Philippines (PIDSP), a non-profit organization of pediatricians, will launch an advocacy project called Rabies pre-exposure project (Rabies PreP) on Sept 23-24, 2008 with a training of pediatricians on rabies and its prevention, with special emphasis on pre-exposure prophylaxis. This is in line with the newly passed "Anti-Rabies act of 2007" which provides for pre-exposure prophylaxis of school children living in high incidence areas. The pediatricians will serve as advocates of rabies in their areas and will play a big role in spreading correct information about rabies to health workers, school children and their parents/teachers, government officials and decision makers. It is hoped that this project will assist in the implementation of the provisions of the Anti-rabies act.
Price:grant from Sanofi Pasteur
