Liberia’s health authorities are raising alarm over a spike in rabies-related incidents following 78 reported dog bite cases in recent weeks.

The National Public Health Institute is calling for swift action to curb the spread of the disease, urging communities to vaccinate pets and report animal bites promptly.

Experts warn that without immediate intervention, the risk to public health—especially children—could grow significantly.

Public awareness campaigns and emergency vaccination drives are being considered as part of the national response.
