    Gone to the dogs: Rabies control and street dog welfare in India

    Recently, a father and his son died in Visakhapatnam after their pet dog bit them. Reports say that they did not take the anti-rabies vaccine soon enough. Rabies is one of the oldest zoonotic diseases. People are often bitten by street dogs, who are present in great numbers in both cities, and villages of the country. With around 60 million free-ranging dogs, India arguably has the biggest population of street dogs in the world. Most of these dogs aren’t vaccinated against rabies. Most of the rabies cases are dog-mediated. The WHO says that low awareness of the need to seek healthcare after dog bites claims the lives of 55000 people each year globally, mostly in Asia and Africa. True burden of rabies in India is not fully known, but as per given information, it causes 18000 to 20,000 deaths each year.  This episode was brilliantly reported by Mahima Jain which got a special mention at One World Media's Podcast and Radio Award in 2022. The podcast takes you through the many factors that complicate rabies control and dog welfare in India.  The episode talks about: The link between street dogs and India’s struggles with rabies elimination.  The kind of treatment that is effective against rabies, and how the Indian healthcare system poses a challenge in providing effective care for those who contract rabies. How India ended up with an overpopulation of street dogs Potential barriers in implementing the National Action Plan for Rabies Elimination by 2030 References Man, son die of rabies after pet dog bites them in Visakhapatnam - The Hindu Rabies as a Public Health Concern in India—A Historical Perspective Overview of Animal Laws in India Centers For Disease Control and Prevention: Global Rabies Work US National Library of Medicine: Striking back against rabies Burden of illness of dog-mediated rabies in India: A systematic review Modelling the challenges of managing free-ranging dog populations WHO Rabies: Rabies  News:  India sees 1.75 million dog bites every year, yet we face up to 80% shortage of anti-rabies vaccines Rabies deaths down by a third in three years in India, but snakebites continue to kill | Health - Hindustan Times In the Himalayas, growing population of feral dogs poses threat to wildlife, humans – Firstpost   Over 300 dogs poisoned to death by Andhra village panchayat, alleges activist 5 doses over days, keep rabies away - The Hindu  See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

    Why is India barely reporting heat wave deaths?

    At least 33 people died in heatwave during the 2024 General Election's last phase in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Odisha. The people who died include polling officials. The average heat related mortality has increased by 85% in 2013-22 as compared with 1991-2001. Excess heat can cause:  Cardiac related illness Lung damage Kidney injury Adverse pregnancy outcome  Mental health impact But often these deaths are not recorded as heat-related deaths or are not accepted by the respective governments or local bodies.  The National Action Plan on Heat Related Illnesses, 2021 gave detailed guidelines on how to record a suspected heat-related illness death. Recently, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare released a document examining autopsy findings of those who died of heat-related illnesses. This is an attempt by the govt to standardise the approach of confirming such deaths.  We are replaying last year's episode. In this episode, Suno India's Sneha Richhariya visited a district hospital to understand the challenges of recording a heat-related death. I spoke to Dr. Abhishek Sharma, Emergency Medical Officer at Noida district hospital and Abhiyant Tiwari, lead climate resilience and health consultant at Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).  References India heatwave kills at least 33, including election officials - The Economic Times National Action plan on Heat Related llnesses.pdf AUTOPSY FINDINGS HEAT RELATED DEATHS Cause certified in just 22.5% of deaths registered in 2020 | India News See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.
