چکیده

Introduction: Rabies is a deadly viral disease that persists in many countries, causing mortality in both humans and animals. Raising public awareness is crucial for rabies control, and World Rabies Day serves as an annual platform to educate communities and promote strategies for the prevention and eventual elimination of this disease globally. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the World Rabies Day conference, held on September ۲۸, ۲۰۲۴, which adopted a One Health approach to coordinate the activities of the Ministry of Health, the Veterinary Organization, and the WHO Collaborating Center for Reference and Research on Rabies. The conference aimed to disseminate information and enhance the capacity of targeted health professionals across Iran to implement effectively rabies control strategies. Conference structure and highlights: This conference was conducted in a hybrid format, featuring both in-person and online sessions. Participants could attend either in person or virtually via webinar. Key topics discussed included rabies virology and pathogenesis, epidemiology, the roles of veterinary organizations and the Iranian CDC, education and prevention strategies, treatment protocols, and virus detection methods. The insights gained from this scientific event are expected to inform policy decisions and guide the efforts of health authorities and relevant organizations in effectively controlling rabies in Iran. Conclusion/impact: Raising awareness about rabies virus virulence and the importance of rabies control within both medical and veterinary fields is crucial for achieving elimination goals. By providing targeted training to health professionals and educating the public, the conference and the broader One Health approach can contribute to significant progress towards rabies control and eventual elimination in Iran. This integrated approach fosters collaboration and strengthens the capacity for effective rabies prevention and control measures.
