  • All About Awareness
    Aug 26 2025

    In the run up to World Rabies Day, an urgent need to ramp up public and health worker knowledge about this dangerous and deadly disease, not only in rabies-endemic countries but also in countries free from rabies. British nurse Robyn Thomson, whose mother died after a scratch from a puppy in Morocco, shares her determination to raise rabies awareness across the UK's health sector. We also preview a 28-day countdown to World Rabies Day and a new series of community education films in multiple languages. WHO’s rabies lead Dr Bernadette Abela reflects on the current funding environment and urges us all to ‘stay creative’.

    Hosted by Dr Katie Hampson, University of Glasgow, with guests Robyn Thomson; Kerenza Vlastou, Community and Outreach Director, GARC; Sarah Beeching, Adviser to United Against Rabies and Dr Bernadette Abela, Rabies Lead, Malaria and NTD team, World Health Organization. With contributions from Dr Madi Savadogo, Burkina Faso and Dr James Ngatia, Kenya.

  • Ukraine, Tanzania and new tools and resources
    Jun 24 2025

    In Ukraine, rabies is rising among abandoned pets, and could spread to surrounding countries in Europe. We hear an urgent call for mass vaccination and sterilisation of dogs to avert catastrophe. In Tanzania, international endorsement of the national rabies control plan is helping to secure more funding. And we are reminded of the critical importance of immediate and thorough wound-washing in any suspected rabies case. Unicef is keen to increase rabies awareness among children, families and health workers at community level and we introduce some practical new tools and resources from WHO to assist countries in their roll out of human rabies vaccines for PEP.

    Hosted by Professor Katie Hampson from the University of Glasgow with Dan Fine, documentary producer of “War Tails”, Dr Samwel Mngumi of Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries in Tanzania, Ida-Marie Ameda, Unicef's Global Lead for Malaria and NTDs, and Dr Katie Corridan, World Health Organization.

  • Rabies in Conflict Zones
    Dec 10 2024

    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 Vasylyshin, Adoption Counsellor, Zoo Patrol Ukraine
    Dr Jalil Mohammadzai, Afghanistan Country Director, Mayhew International
    Dr Kevin Miheso, South Sudan Country Director, VSF Suisse
