Listen "Rabies in Conflict Zones"
Episode Synopsis
The battle against rabies is complex and difficult. But imagine having to fight rabies in a country at war. In this episode, we meet three people working in enormously challenging circumstances in Afghanistan, South Sudan and Ukraine. From Ukraine we learn that soldiers on the front line are being put at risk of rabies as abandoned animals reproduce and are running wild. In Afghanistan, international isolation makes vaccine procurement extremely difficult. And in South Sudan internal conflict further complicates rabies control efforts hindered by under-development.Join Professor Katie Hampson and her guests:Olha Vasylyshyn, Adoption Counsellor, Zoo Patrol UkraineDr Jalil Mohammadzai, Afghanistan Country Director, Mayhew InternationalDr Kevin Miheso, South Sudan Country Director, VSF Suisse Published December 2024Send us a textWe would love to hear from you.
