Analysis of the Joint Action Plan's implementation on rabies control in CIS countries suggests ongoing efforts are crucial for prevention and outbreak management.
Rabies is a fatal viral infection that attacks the central nervous system of mammals, including humans, leading to severe neurological dysfunction. Rabies continues to be a serious concern worldwide, including within the CIS countries. A comprehensive approach is essential to achieve and sustain freedom from rabies. On May 12, 2016, the Intergovernmental Council for Veterinary Cooperation of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) tasked the Federal Centre for Animal Health with developing a draft Joint Action Plan for the CIS Member States on Rabies Prevention and Control, to cover the period through 2025. The set was developed and approved by the decision of the Council of Heads of the CIS Government on June 1, 2018. This paper reviews the implementation results of the Joint Action Plan to 2025 and presents the subsequent plan for 2025–2030, developed with the primary goal of mitigating the risk of rabies outbreak spread throughout the CIS members.
