Is there a serious problem of stray dogs where you live?
BACKGROUND
In an article published in the New
Vision on January 16th
2015, it was revealed that residents of Masindi are living in fear
following increased cases of dog bites in the district.
Mr. Kahiira, the area councillor,
said that so far 16 people have bitten by dogs and authorities have
complained of a suspected rabies outbreak. The most affected villages
are Bikonzi and Kikingura.
Treatment is accessed at Masindi
Kitara Medical Centre and Ngomokwe Nursing Home, both private
facilities. A nurse at Ngomokwe, who preferred anonymity, said a
rabies dose costs between Shs160,000 and Shs180,000.
The Kampala Capital City Authority
(KCCA) has a program that involves the elimination of stray dogs by
feeding them meat with poison. As part of their mandate to eliminate
rabies in the country, this operation can take place wherever
residents report stray dogs.
