Tunisia reports 3 rabies deaths in 2026
The article focuses on the efforts of the Tunisian Ministry of Health to combat rabies and raise public awareness about the dangers of the disease and prevention methods. The ministry reported three human fatalities from rabies in the first nine months of 2026, and has treated over one hundred thousand people who were bitten by animals. It emphasized the importance of avoiding contact with stray dogs, receiving annual vaccinations for pet dogs, and acting quickly if bitten or scratched—by cleaning the wound thoroughly and heading to a health center immediately. Tunisia is also organizing a nationwide free vaccination campaign for animals during September and October 2026, aimed at reducing the number of stray dogs and preventing the rise in rabies cases.
