Abstract:

This study involves incidence rate, exposure and associated factors of human rabies at Gondar health center which is in
Gondar city of Ethiopia. A retrospective cross-sectional study was used to assess incidence, exposure and associated
factors at the Gondar health center where post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies was available for the whole population
in the north Gondar zone catchment area. The literature for this study was collected from different sources including PubMed.
The abstract of the article is translated into six official working languages of the United Nations. This study built understanding
for the consideration of the disease since this disease was neglected over decades and opens door for more research regarding
rabies.
