Indonesia : Gianyar Man Dies of Rabies

An article from The Bali Times :

" DENPASAR : man from Tegallalang in Gianyar died of rabies in Sanglah Hospital on Saturday — only 20 minutes after being admitted to the hospital’s rabies ward.

Gianyar is one of the two regencies where proponents of a vaccination-only rabies control programme conducted the pilot programme that led this month to the provincial government agreeing to a foreign-funded mass vaccination programme as an alternative to mass dog culls.

Wayan Leges, 43, of Banjar Taro Kaja in Tegallalang, was declared a rabies case by the Sanglah rabies team. Its secretary, Dr Ken Wirasandhi, said the man died at 12.30am, shortly after admission."
