Abstract
Rabies is a zoonotic disease that is transmitted by rabid animals to humans. Those infected usually develop encephalitis that leads to death. Globally, it is estimated 60,000 rabies deaths being reported yearly and 40% of those deaths are children below 15 years old. Close to 95% of rabies deaths are reported in Africa and Asia; and rabies is still underreported in certain countries. Malaysia was declared rabies free in 2013, unfortunately since 2015 there were outbreaks of canine rabies in Northern states of Peninsular Malaysia. In 2017 both human and canine rabies cases were reported in Sarawak state which was earlier rabies free. Since the outbreak was declared until end of 2021, there were 41 human rabies cases including 39 deaths.
