Two governmental sectors, Department of Livestock Development, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives and Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health, have been jointly responsible for rabies control in Thailand. The aim is to have the rabies situation controlled both in humans and animals. Strategies included promotion of collaboration among governmental agencies, private sectors and publics in carrying out activities. Public campaigns are continually undertaken to raise public awareness, understanding and participation in rabies prevention and control. Providing education to the general public on appropriate self care after rabies contact is also one of their tasks. Another important mission aims to enhance a wider coverage of rabies vaccination in dog population in order to create and expand rabies free territories.
