All hospitals in Kerala where anti-rabies vaccination can be administered would be made model anti-rabies clinics in phases, Health Minister Veena George has said. She was inaugurating the World Rabies Day observance here on Wednesday.
In the first phase, model anti-rabies clinics will function in district, general and medical college hospitals in the State. The aim of these clinics will be to provide treatment for animal bites according to a universal rabies management protocol, something that had been sorely lacking in the State.
Those who reach the clinics following animal bites would be counselled so as to allay their anxiety.
