Model anti-rabies clinics will be opened in all district, general and medical college hospitals in the State, a statement issued by Health Minister Veena George has said.
The model clinics would introduce a comprehensive wound management regimen for animal bites, something that had so far not been available in any hospitals, she said on Tuesday. This meant that there would be a space for cleaning wounds, rest room, clinic and vaccination facility, and both anti-rabies vaccine as well as immunoglobulin serum would be ensured at these facilities. Those who come to the clinic with animal bites would be given the necessary counselling, awareness and advice on the animal bites management.
