iciHaiti - Health : Rabies in Haiti, a major health challenge 29/09/2025 09:50:57
In his remarks, Dr. Francisco Noël, Director of the DPSPE, reiterated that the rabies situation in Haiti is a major health challenge; he emphasized that it is imperative to intensify our efforts to eradicate rabies in Haiti. For his part, Gabriel Thimothé emphasized that this day serves as a reminder that collective and individual action is needed to eliminate rabies, with an emphasis on vaccination, education, and mobilization. Surveillance data collected between 2022 and 2024 in Haiti confirm that the rabies virus remains a serious public health threat: during this period, health authorities investigated more than 8,000 suspected cases of canine rabies. Of these, more than 1,100 were deemed probable and 46 were laboratory-confirmed. During the same period, 24 suspected human cases were identified, and eight rabies-related deaths were confirmed.
