Ang Barangay Haguilanan sa lungsod sa Catigbian maoy usa sa tulo ka barangay sa Bohol nga

rabies o kagaw sa iro, butyag ni Dr. Stella Marie Lapiz sa Kapihan sa PIA niadtong milabayng

Lisud apan kon masabtan na sa tanan, sayon na ang pagpatunhay niini, matud niya. (PIA)

THE program that truly bites at the threat of rabies moves on as the Govenor’s Award for best performing anti-rabies councils is dangled as a bait.
P200 thousand is at stake for the 10 best performing councils, revealed Dr. Stella Marie Lapiz, adding that the inter-agency and multisectoral Screening Commitee begins a series of conferences to finalize the awards.
This Friday, the committee meets at the office of the Provincial Veterinarian to deliberate on the mechanics as well as initially evaluate the municipal and barangay council nominees.
Considered as one of the world’s most successful rabies prevention and eradication program so far, the Bohol program leans on the effective mobilization of communities as major stakeholders in the program.

GOVERNOR Erico Aumentado signed an executive order naming March and April as dog registration and vaccination months in Bohol as a renewed strategy to fight and eradicate rabies in the province.
Citing Republic Act 9482 and Provincial Ordinance 2007-012, the governor said it is but necessary to formulate internal rules to strengthen the implementation of the Bohol Rabies Prevention and Eradication Program (BPREP).
The ordinance penalizes pet owners for non-registration and vaccination of dogs, their refusal to have his biting dog put under observation and his refusal to help victims with their concurred treatment expenses.
Rabies is a kind of viral infection caused by Lyssavirus and could be contracted by bites from rabid animals, or the virus entering lesions. When bitten, a person has to immediately wash the wound in soap and water within 10 minutes from biting, apply alcohol or disinfectants directly to the wound. And lastly, rush the victim to the nearest rural health unit to obtain referrals before going to the nearest animal bite center. (rachiu/PIA)
