Via Project Karuna, we strive to mitigate the possibility of rabies infection and create a safer environment for all. I am proud of the APL Apollo Foundation team and our invaluable partners in developing this impactful programme.”

Humans and animals share an interconnected environment, and often, humans can contract diseases from animals. In urban cities, street animals like dogs are particularly vulnerable as they often remain unvaccinated. Nearly 35% of global rabies deaths are due to dog-mediated rabies and India accounts for around 1/3rd of these. Recognizing this challenge, India has introduced the ‘One Health’ approach (integrating human and veterinary healthcare systems) which has led to the creation of a National Action Plan for Dog Mediated Rabies Elimination by 2030. Following this initiative, APL Apollo Foundation’s Project Karuna endeavors to lower infection risks in animals, minimize disease transmission to humans and create a healthy living environment for all.
