One Health Nepal is a non-profit, non-governmental, student-led organization which has been actively working to emphasize One Health approaches and issues. Founded in 2014 AD, we believe that for sustainable human, animal and environmental health, due emphasis should be given to each three domains with proper coordination and collaboration between the professionals working in all three aspects. Every year on the occasion of World Rabies Day, One Health Nepal organizes weeklong event emphasizing global goal “Rabies: Zero by 30”. In Nepal, rabies is reported to cause around 100 human deaths per year among which 40% are children. This year OHN is organising three main programs:
i) 2 Day School Awareness Program-aims to aware students about host, trasmisssion, disease progression, symptoms, vaccination schedule for pets, and post vaccination schedule for human. Estimated student reach: 100
ii) Presentation session on restraining techniques, vaccination schedule, vaccination techniques and cold chain protocol for rabies vaccine- aims to make vet students equip about rabies and to hone their clinical practice. Estimated vet student reach: 30
iii) Free Mass Anti-rabies vaccination Program- aims to reduce dog and cat mediated rabies cases. Estimated animal to be vaccinated: 100
