Although preventable by vaccines, approximately 60'000 humans die due to canine transmitted rabies annually, mostly in Africa and Asia. The aim of this paper is to advocate for including animal health aspects into considerations of human health and human rights, and for equitable access to rabies vaccination for both animals and humans. An infringement of human - in particular of children's - right to health will be illustrated with the case of rabies and poor dog management in Uganda.
尽管狂犬病可以通过疫苗预防,但每年仍有约 6 万人死于犬传播的狂犬病,主要在非洲和亚洲。本文的目的是倡导将动物健康方面纳入对人类健康和人权的考虑,并倡导为动物和人类提供公平的狂犬病疫苗接种机会。乌干达的狂犬病和不良的犬只管理案例说明了对人类——特别是儿童——健康权的侵犯。
