ΔTarget: Dr. Rupa Naik, Director of Health Services, Government of Goa, Panaji, IndiaGoal: Audit and correct reportedly inflated dog-bite figures, publish transparent methodology, and prioritize humane, evidence-based dog management over fear-driven crackdowns. Their analysis claims that many entries reflect vaccine doses or non-canine incidents rather than unique dog attacks, which could allegedly inflate totals by large margins. Registers allegedly count multiple rabies shots per person, and records may not distinguish species or ownership. Parallel steps should include clinician guidance on coding, routine data quality checks, and open dashboards that present verified trends. Public safety is best served through verified data, ABC program implementation, mass anti-rabies vaccination, and community education on coexistence and responsible care.
