An expanded field campaign to vaccinate dogs against rabies in Assiut
Dr. Jamal Sayed Ahmed, Director General of the Directorate, said that an expanded campaign targeted all dogs and vaccinated them against rabies, in addition to numbering and sterilizing them inside the shelter center, ensuring a healthy environment for the animals and cutting the chain of transmission of infection.
Efforts also continued, with an additional campaign that strengthened the scope of field work, to confirm the directorate’s commitment to continuity and careful follow-up in protecting society from the threat of rabies. The efforts did not stop there, but were completed by a third campaign that extended to new areas, covering a wider scope, and completing what had begun in the previous days of collecting and vaccinating dogs, with the continuation of numbering and sterilization operations inside the shelter center, in a scene that reflects a real commitment to the national strategy, stressing that these campaigns are not just a reaction, but a plan. Integrated, implemented with determination and precise succession.
Dr. Jamal Sayed Ahmed, Director General of the Directorate, confirmed that the work teams are working continuously according to a precise plan that includes vaccinating, numbering and sterilizing free-range dogs, stressing that community interaction is the basic foundation for the success of these efforts, and that the ultimate goal is to reach a safe environment for humans and animals alike.
These veterinary campaigns reflect the values of compassion and responsibility, as preventive measures converge with a lofty humanitarian message to protect lives. Every vaccine dose given represents a step towards a safer society, and every measure carried out in the field is an investment in the health of the citizen and the stability of the environment. From the heart of the field work, the safety system is built, and a future free of diseases is drawn, based on continuous cooperation between the state and society, where the values of compassion and responsibility are embodied in every measure for the sake of a healthy and safe environment for future generations.
