Karachi is facing a growing extremity as random hounds continue to hang public health. sanctioned data shows over 26,000 canine- bite cases have been reported in the municipality this time alone, with 21 people tragically losing their lives. The numbers reflect not just a health emergency but also a broader social challenge, made worse by poor access to timely treatment and precautionary care. Rabies, though entirely preventable, remains incurable formerly symptoms appear. Experts stress that awareness and prevention are the only real defenses either through wide education campaigns or by reducing the population of random hounds. Encyclopedically, multitudinous countries have barred rabies deaths by vaccinating hounds and icing access topost- exposure prophylaxis( hardihood), yet Pakistan continues to lag ahead. rather of regular prevention, the response constantly relies on canine handpicking — generally through poisoning — an inhuman and ineffective practice. Hospitals in several sections also report crunches ofanti- rabies vaccines and immunoglobulin, leaving victims without critical care. Myths and misinformation further energy the extremity, with multitudinous people ignorant of proper first- aid way after a bite. To end rabies deaths, Pakistan needs further than short- term fixes. A steady vaccine force, humane control styles, and stronger community awareness are essential to save lives from this entirely preventable complaint.
