The union health ministry has introduced a digital platform, ZooWIN.
It is designed to track and manage the real-time availability of the anti-rabies vaccines (ARV) and anti-snake venom (ASV) across the country.
Similar to the Co-WIN and U-WIN platforms, ZooWIN will centralise the data and improve collaboration among the healthcare providers, municipal authorities, and veterinary services.
India alone accounts for nearly 36 per cent of global rabies fatalities, with approximately 60,000 deaths worldwide each year.
Additionally, snake bites cause around 50,000 deaths annually in India.
