While some progress has been made, Viet Nam, over the past 10 years, has continued to report 70 to 100 human deaths from rabies each year.  FAO and WHO recognize the commitment of the Government of Viet Nam to achieve the 2030 goal of eliminating human deaths from dog-mediated rabies by renewing the new National Programme on the Control and Elimination of Rabies 2022–2030. Our support to the Government of Viet Nam in developing essential policies and mechanisms to reduce humans death from dog-mediated rabies will be with Viet Nam. We encourage a ‘Call to Action’ from the Government, particularly at the local level, to prioritize and increase resources for the management of dog populations, the vaccination of dogs, and provision of post exposure prophylaxis for those bitten by dogs. Together, we can achieve “Zero by 2030".
