Delhi makes rabies reportable to eliminate deaths, with 59 clinics offering vaccines and 33 providing immunoglobulin.

The Delhi government has declared human rabies a notifiable disease, requiring all public and private healthcare facilities to report suspected, probable, and confirmed cases immediately. The move, effective January 4, 2026, aims to improve surveillance, enable rapid treatment, and eliminate human rabies deaths. Anti-rabies vaccines are available at 59 facilities and immunoglobulin at 33 centers across Delhi’s 11 districts. The initiative supports the State Action Plan for Rabies Elimination, promoting coordinated efforts between human and animal health systems under a 'One Health' approach. Health officials stress that rabies is preventable with prompt care, and no deaths should be acceptable.
