Rabies in Conflict Zones

The battle against rabies is complex and difficult.  But imagine having to fight rabies in a country at war.  In this episode, we meet three people working in enormously challenging circumstances in Afghanistan, South Sudan and Ukraine.

 From Ukraine we learn that soldiers on the front line are being put at risk of rabies as abandoned animals reproduce and are running wild. In Afghanistan, international isolation makes vaccine procurement extremely difficult. And in South Sudan internal conflict further complicates rabies control efforts hindered by under-development.
