World Rabies Day 2017 - SUHUM

OFFICIAL LAUNCH WRD IN SUHUM SEPTEMBER 28, 2017

Suhum has been selected as the official launch site for WRD and a 3 year pilot site and we have been having interaction with the local departments of Health, Education, Suhum District Assembly, Veterinary Services and schools.

The organizing team will departed for Suhum on Wednesday afternoon September 27^th 

On arrival we will visited the 2 major local radio stations for a live on-air interviews about the activities to take place in Suhum and the free clinics.

Press, TV and radio was intensive 2 weeks prior to our arrival alerting the entire populace of Suhum about the World Rabies Day, events and free vaccinations.

There are 250 basic schools in the Suhum District who will receive the pen drives and promotional materials. We identified those schools we will visit during our trip to Suhum.

The official launch venue is the courtyard of the Suhum Municipal Assembly.

We video recorded the launch in Suhum and the vaccinations interviewing the public who brought their pets for the free vaccination.
