Six die from rabies in Karachi between May-August
|
[GEO.TV] Six people have died from rabies following dog bites in the metropolis between May and August, hospital officials said on Friday.
According to medical authorities, three of the victims were under treatment at Jinnah Hospital and three others at Korangi's Trust Hospital.
Across Sindh, the number of rabies-related deaths this year has climbed to 14, officials said. Eight patients have died at Jinnah Hospital and six at Trust Hospital in Korangi.
Health officials further disclosed that more than 22,000 cases of dog bites have been reported so far this year, underscoring the growing public health concern.
Alarmingly, a number of dog bite victims do not report to any healthcare facility, instead following home remedies for the treatment of wounds.
Health experts say that a dog bite victim must report to a public sector healthcare facility and follow a standard protocol to avoid rabies, which is 100% fatal for both animals and humans after developing symptoms.
