One of the most important points in rabies prevention concerns the level of awareness in both the medical profession and the general public.

Programmes that use imaginative 'information highways' like schools, religious and other local organizations and meetings have had some impact in increasing awareness. However, more emphasis is needed on the development and implementation of national guidelines for rabies prevention to meet each country's needs. These types of documents can be secured from countries with similar guidelines in place as well as from WHO. Other methods to increase rabies awareness should include specific rabies information given to medical students, long distance learning through various international internet sites, the utilization of currently existing 'mother and infant' programmes, and public media spotlights. The most important points are that the means by which to convey the message of awareness are already in place, and it is the motivation to do so that needs most to be encouraged.
