| World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) is an intergovernmental organisation with a mandate from its 169 Member Countries and Territories to improve world animal health. In this capacity, the OIE is responsible for ensuring transparency of the animal disease situation worldwide, including diseases transmissible to humans, and the sanitary safety of world trade of animals and animal products. The OIE publishes international standards in all fields covered by its mandate, including animal welfare and food safety. Prevention of diseases at the animal source is the ultimate key in dealing with a prevalent and perennial zoonosis like rabies. Animal vaccination remains the method of choice to control and eradicate rabies. It is therefore the prime responsibility of the veterinary profession to apply its knowledge and skills in animal disease control to create a protective immune buffer between the animal source of the disease and susceptible human beings. Good governance of veterinary services, better laboratory diagnostic capacity and vaccination campaigns in domesticated and wild animals are thus key actions to be taken. The OIE fully supports the efforts to raise public awareness of rabies and the need for collaboration with other professions and the public health sector. |
