Welcome to APCRI Join Hands with APCRI National Conference

Anti-Rabies Pioneer

Every year more than 20,000 people die in India due to Rabies. This accounts for nearly 36% of the total deaths due to Rabies world-wide. Most industrialised nations have effectively controlled Rabies. Even though the best methods for the prevention of Rabies are available in India, the penetration of awareness regarding the use of these is still lacking. APCRI is leading the war against the Rabies Menace in India through advocacy, research, awareness creation and more.
For a Rabies Free India

India is a huge country with over a billion population, 75% of which lives in villages and remote rural areas. The APCRI vision of making India Rabies free can be achieved only by taking Rabies awareness and Prevention Services to every nook and corner of the country. This can be done only with the help and support of individuals and organisations who care for the health and well-being of the country. Join the fight against Rabies by joining APCRI Rabies Network.
The Best Minds Together

Since 1999, APCRI has been conducting National Conferences on Rabies Prevention and Control every year. The Conference that is aimed at bringing together the best professional minds in the country to deliberate over the Rabies situation and developments in India and abroad, has attracted global attention for the quality of its content and output.

APCRI Rabies Education

Rabies is an acute viral disease which causes fatal encephalomyelitis in virtually all the warm blooded animals including man. The virus is found in wild and some domestic animals, and is transmitted to other animals and to humans through their saliva (i.e. bites, scratches, licks on broken skin and mucous membrane).

To know more about Rabies and its prevention and control, download the Awareness Brochure, browse the Frequently Asked Questions or view the Educational Powerpoint Presentations.
