Sarawak committed to meet WHO's rabies-free target by 2030, says Deputy Premier


KUCHING: Despite describing the number of human rabies cases in Sarawak as alarming, Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian (pic) said the state government remained committed to eliminating it by 2030, in line with the World Health Organisation (WHO)'s target.

He said the state government would do everything in its power to curb the spread of the deadly disease and Sarawak could be declared rabies-free if the state remained free of animal and human rabies for a period of at least two consecutive years.
