Access to healthcare facilities is not a privilege; the government must provide it to everyone in the community. The increasing mortality of human rabies in the Province of Bataan for the past two years is the motivation for the implementation of this Re-entry Project (ReP). Entitled Rabies Awareness, Prevention, and Institutionalized Delivery of Post-Exposure Prophylaxis for Indigents and Senior Citizens in the Province of Bataan, it aims to decrease the mortality of human rabies by ensuring health financial risk protection, especially to the marginalized sectors, towards an improved quality of life. The ReP address the accessibility and availment issues of animal bite victims explicitly the following categories: 1) Accreditation of additional Animal Bite Treatment Centers (ABTC) to avoid long queues under the scorching heat of the sun; as well as long travels from far-flung areas. 2) Signing of Memorandum of Agreement with Local Government Units for the provision of complete post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for Category III patients at zero cost. 3) Conduct Information, Education and Communication (IEC) campaigns against rabies to increase awareness and prevention as well.
